Pepper - Fooled You Jalapeno
Product Info
The semi-compact plant will produce great yields of 1" wide by 3" long deep green peppers, maturing to red. The thick-walled, mild fruits look almost identical to their hot cousin and have the distinctive taste of a jalapeno without the intense heat. You'll want to use these in salsa, sauces, stir frys, relish trays and it makes an excellent pickled pepper if you'd like to put up a few pints for winter. Try some stuffed and grilled, too. The plant will grow 24-28" in height and may need some support to help with the abundant crop.
| Water: | Water frequently for 2 weeks after setting plants in the garden to establish a good root system. Do not allow pepper plants to wilt. This can stress your plants, reducing yields. A slow, deep watering at the roots about once a week is fine (including Mother Nature's contributions) unless your plants are wilting. |
