Description

This jalapeño is like the "Lemon Spice" variety, but with very dark orange-colored fruits. They are thick-fleshed, juicy, sweet, fresh and more fruit than vegetable in consistency. Above all, they are much sweeter than the usual red jalapeño.

Non hybrid

Not frost resistant

Growing tips

Chili should be grown in nutrient-rich soil in a sunny location. For a rich harvest, the first flower (terminal bud/'king flower') should be broken off. This promotes flower and fruit formation on the side shoots. However, this is not as important for chili peppers as it is for peppers. Pull the plants with 3-4 shoots and remove the remaining shoots. In Central Europe, cultivation is usually annual, but the highest yield is only achieved 2-3 years after planting. To achieve this, the plant must be overwintered indoors. The fruit is harvested from July to September, depending on the variety and weather conditions.
