description

Organic Orange Jalapeño Hot Pepper (Capsicum annuum) is a productive and colorful variety appreciated for its fleshy fruits that ripen to a bright orange. Its vigorous habit, reaching about 60 to 90 cm tall, fits easily into family vegetable gardens and large sunny containers. The fruits offer moderate heat balanced by a slightly fruitier, sweeter flavor than traditional green jalapeños. Highly decorative as the peppers ripen against green foliage, it adds a warm touch to the garden while producing generous, versatile harvests.

Easy to grow, Organic Orange Jalapeño Hot Pepper appreciates warm locations, full sun, and rich, fertile, slightly acidic to neutral, well-drained soil. Starting seeds indoors from February to April produces vigorous plants ready for transplanting after frost danger has passed. In 15 to 20 L containers, it benefits from strong heat accumulation and adapts very well to sunny patios. Deep watering when the soil begins to dry slightly at the surface encourages steady growth. Moderate fertilization supports flowering, fruiting, and fruit quality.

Organic Orange Jalapeño Hot Pepper is ideal for sauces, marinades, fermentation, grilling, salsas, and stuffed recipes thanks to its thick flesh and excellent cooking quality. Harvested once it reaches a uniform orange color, it develops its full aromatic richness and visual appeal. It belongs in culinary gardens, container plantings, and diverse vegetable gardens alongside tomato, eggplant, carrot, peas, or onion. Its small whitish flowers attract bees and other pollinating insects, supporting abundant harvests.

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.
