Jalapeno Lemon Spice

Capsicum Annuum

This is not just an ordinary jalapeno; it is a lemon spice jalapeno. It has all the heat of a green jalapeno with an extra citrus undertone. This would be ideal for any gardener as these add bright yellow to your garden and plate.

These jalapeno pods start off green and then turn to a bright yellow as it matures. The pods grow to a size of 7 centimetres and have thick flesh with a spicy flavour.

Heat Factor: Jalapeno Lemon Spice rates at 2 500 – 5 000 on the Scoville Heat units.

Chilli peppers grow best in hot climates, won’t tolerate frost, and enjoy full sun. The ideal growing temperatures are between 20 and 30 degrees Celsius.

Chillies can grow in containers as long as they are positioned on a sun-filled windowsill. The size of the pot should be at least 10cm in diameter. When you notice roots growing out of the drainage holes, it is time to replant into a larger container.
