Jalapeno Round Chili Seeds

Info: The Jalapeno Round Chili is a unique, round Jalapeno with a typical flavour and medium level of spiciness. The Jalapenos are popular above all due to their juicy, flavourful fruit flesh. The fruits often have a cracked, corked surface, which the Mexicans regard as a quality characteristic. Jalapeños belong to the few chillies which also taste good when they’re green and unripe. When they have ripened to red, their flavour takes on a pleasant sweetness. Due to their mild spiciness, Jalapenos are excellent for fresh consumption, as well as for cooking, stuffing, pickling and grilling.

Care: The germination temperature is between 22 und 28°C (6 - 20 day germination period), therefore the use of a greenhouse and a heating mat is recommended. The plants need fresh, well-fertilised, permeable soil, and do not tolerate waterlogging. They should be planted in a sunny, protected place with at least 6 hours of sunlight - preferably more. Put the plants outside approx. 2 to 3 weeks after the last frost. If you plant them outdoors, the plants should have a distance between them of 45 cm. After approx. 60 - 65 days, the green fruits can be harvested, and the red ones after approx. 80 - 90 days. Individual plants develop approx. 30 fruits, but with good care more is possible.
