The humble jalapeño is a favourite in Mexican dishes amongst many more. These popular chillies make a great plant for the garden and are a super versatile addition for your very own pizzas, jalapeño poppers, tacos and more!
These chillies have thick skin and are a medium-heat. Chillies change from green to red when left to mature.
This plant is a perennial plant, but is often mistaken as an annual and therefore pulled out at the end of the growing season. Did you know that you can overwinter your chillies and have a mature plant ready to go for the next season?
