Description: Red Jalapeño chile peppers, botanically classified as Capsicum annuum, are the mature pods of one of the most popular peppers in the world and belongs to the Solanaceae or nightshade family. Named after its city of origin Xalapa, also spelled Jalapa, in Mexico, Red Jalapeño chile peppers are a moderately hot variety ranging 2,500-10,000 SHU on the Scoville scale. The peppers are rare to find in commercial markets due to their extended growing season and are often overshadowed by their green counterparts. Despite their limited availability, Red Jalapeño chile peppers are popularly used in the production of chipotle pepper and salsa. Red Jalapeño chile peppers are curved to straight pods, averaging 5 to 15 centimeters in length and 2 to 5 centimeters in diameter, and have a conical shape tapering to a rounded point on the non-stem end. The skin is smooth, taut, and glossy, ripening from dark green to red when mature. More mature peppers will also exhibit characteristic cracks near their stem end. This streaking is known as corking and is a pepper characteristic sought after in Mexico. Underneath the surface, the thick flesh is crisp, red, and aqueous, encasing a central cavity filled with round and flat, cream-colored seeds. Red Jalapeño chile peppers have an earthy, vegetal, and sweet flavor mixed with a mild to moderate level of spice. FREE shipping, NO Tracking.

Many take several weeks, months, and some even up towards a year depending on dormancy, region, season etc. It is important that the buyer understands that seeds are perishable products and seed germination can be adversely affected by such factors as mold/fungus, bugs, temperature, moisture content, light intensity, dormancy, care, contamination of planting media among many other reasons. Germination recommendations are sent with each order and the buyer is free to research and use their own methods. Floating seeds do not always indicate that the seed is not viable. Many times, it is a misconception because the seed does not have the density to sink in water. Accordingly, The Plant Attraction does not guarantee seeds to perform properly regardless of conditions or buyer's methods or soil/water/lighting.
