Early Jalapeño Hot Pepper Seeds – Heirloom, Non-GMO, Fast Growing Chili (25 Seeds)

Early Jalapeño is a dependable heirloom hot pepper prized for its quick maturity and steady yields of thick-walled, dark green chilies. The compact plants set fruit earlier than many other jalapeño varieties, making them a smart choice for short-season gardens, containers, and raised beds. Peppers can be harvested green for a crisp, mildly hot flavor or left to ripen to red for added sweetness and heat.

These versatile chilies are a kitchen staple for fresh salsas, pickling, stuffing, and grilling. The bushy plants grow well in warm, sunny spots and produce over an extended period when kept evenly watered and picked regularly. Whether you are a first-time pepper grower or an experienced gardener, Early Jalapeño offers a reliable, productive addition to the vegetable patch.

Planting & Care

Start Early Jalapeño seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before the last expected frost. Sow seeds about 1/4 inch deep in a seed-starting mix and keep the medium consistently moist but not soggy. Maintain a warm temperature around 75 to 85°F to encourage germination. Once seedlings have several sets of true leaves and nighttime temperatures stay above 50°F, harden them off gradually before transplanting outdoors.

Set plants in full sun and space them 12 to 18 inches apart in well-drained soil. Water regularly, especially during flowering and fruiting, and apply a balanced fertilizer as needed. Mulching helps retain moisture and suppress weeds. Harvest peppers when they reach the desired size and color; regular picking encourages continued production. Protect plants from frost, as peppers are sensitive to cold.
