Description

'Giant' is slightly larger than its sister varieties of jalapenos. The plants grow bushy and reach a height of approx. 80 cm. The fruits have the typical jalapeno shape, but are approx. 10 cm long or even longer under good growing conditions.

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.
