Planting & Care

Sow Purple Jalapeño seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date. Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep in seed-starting mix and keep consistently moist at 70-85°F for best germination. Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, transplant them into individual pots and gradually acclimate them to outdoor conditions before planting in the garden after all danger of frost has passed.

Provide full sun and well-drained soil. Water regularly to keep soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Mulch around plants to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Fertilize lightly when plants begin to flower. Harvest peppers when they reach full size and desired color; purple jalapeños can be picked green or allowed to mature to purple. Wear gloves when handling hot peppers.
