description

Organic Jalapeño Pumpkin Spice Hot Pepper (Capsicum annuum) is an original and productive variety appreciated for its fleshy fruits with warm coloring reminiscent of autumn harvests. Its compact, well-branched habit reaches about 60 to 90 cm tall and fits easily into square-foot gardens, edible flower beds, and large decorative containers. The fruits offer heat comparable to classic jalapeños, with a spicy, slightly fruity flavor that remains enjoyable in the kitchen. Highly ornamental when fruiting, this pepper adds a bright touch to the garden while producing abundant harvests.

This organic variety appreciates warm locations, full sun, and rich, fertile, slightly acidic to neutral, well-drained soil. Starting seeds indoors from February to April produces strong plants ready for transplanting after frost danger has passed. In 15 to 20 L containers, it performs very well on a sunny patio and can be moved to the warmest areas. Deep, regular watering maintains even moisture without waterlogging the soil, while mulch helps reduce water stress. Light fertilization supports flowering and fruit production.

Organic Jalapeño Pumpkin Spice Hot Pepper is ideal for hot sauces, marinades, fermentation, salsas, grilling, and spicy preparations. Its firm flesh keeps a pleasant texture after processing, making it an excellent variety for homemade preserves and abundant harvests. It pairs well with tomato, eggplant, carrot, peas, or onion in a diverse edible garden. Its white flowers attract bees and encourage good pollination, supporting vegetable garden productivity and biodiversity.

Sowing
guide

Sowing periodFebruary to April indoors; transplant after frost

Best time

March to May

Sowing depth0.5 to 1 cm (1/4 to 3/8 in.)

Germination temperature24 to 30 °C (75 to 86 °F)

Germination time7 to 14 days

Propagation

Propagated by seed. Sow seeds in warm conditions for rapid, even germination, then transplant seedlings individually before moving them outdoors.

Growing
method

Peppers require a long growing season and benefit from an early indoor start. Sow seeds eight to ten weeks before the last expected frost in Canada using a light, well-drained seed-starting mix. Maintain temperatures between 24 and 30°C for rapid, even germination and vigorous seedlings. Once seedlings emerge, provide strong light to encourage compact, sturdy plants. Transplant into individual containers after several true leaves develop, then gradually harden off before planting outdoors. Grow plants in a warm location receiving at least six to eight hours of direct sun daily in rich, fertile, well-drained soil. Water regularly while keeping the soil evenly moist, apply mulch to conserve moisture, and fertilize moderately to encourage abundant flowering and continuous fruit production.

Watering

Keep the soil evenly moist without becoming waterlogged. Deep, regular watering encourages healthy fruit development and helps reduce drought stress during summer.

Fertilization

Apply well-aged compost before planting to encourage balanced growth and strong yields. During the growing season, a fertilizer higher in potassium helps promote flowering and fruit production without excessive foliage.

Care levelModerate

Water regularly during warm weather to maintain steady growth without oversaturating the soil. Mulch helps conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Harvest ripe peppers frequently to extend production. Light fertilization during the season supports continued fruiting. Monitor for aphids and treat promptly if necessary.
