Grow the World’s Favorite Hot Pepper!
Jalapeño is a beloved heirloom chilli variety celebrated for its versatile medium heat and robust yields. These bushy plants produce abundant green pods that can be harvested fresh for salsas and salads, or left to ripen red for a sweeter, fruitier profile. Ideal for stuffing, pickling, sauces, and grilling.
Well suited to Pakistan’s warm climate, Jalapeños mature in 70–80 days from transplant, rewarding gardeners with continuous harvests throughout the season.
