Chilli Seeds - Jalapeno Very popular hot pepper. Easy to grow.

Hot pepper Jalapeno grows up to 1 metre tall. High yield, the fruit matures from green to red. Mostly picked when green. Used in Mexican sauces. Excellent variety for pickling. Can be used fresh or can be dried and stored for longer, just like any other chilli pepper. 

Sow chilli pepper seeds about 1 cm deep into a seed tray or in small pots or cells. Cover lightly, water and place inside at between 20-25 Celsius. To aid germination, place the tray in a plastic bag.
