Kings Seeds Pepper Chilli Gourmet Jalapeno
Description
A very popular and versatile Mexican chilli that can be eaten both green and red, and when ripe can remain on the plant for several weeks without deteriorating. The thick walled fruits are moderately hot, and are often stuffed with cream cheese before being cooked. Produces a good crop over a long season.
Handy Tip: If you need space in the greenhouse, move containers outside to a patio once all risk of frost has passed. In autumn move back undercover to ripen any remaining fruits.
