Add classic medium heat to your kitchen with jalapeños! Beloved for their moderate heat and versatility, they’re a staple in salsas, pickling, and grilling, bringing a crisp, slightly fruity spice. Jalapeños are approachable for cooks who want flavor without overwhelming heat. Their widespread use in both fresh and cooked dishes makes them a kitchen essential. This heirloom variety is particularly desirable due to its relatively early ripening, within 65-70 days.

MicroStarts' Jalapeño pepper starter plants are available for shipping in the last half of April, first half or second half of May, and first half of June - choose your preferred shipping window below.
