Umuthi Capsicum (Jalapeño) Seeds produce productive plants bearing crisp, medium-heat peppers with a bold, green flavour and a hint of smokiness. Great fresh for salsas and salads, or cooked on the braai, roasted, stuffed or pickled. Plants like full sun, rich, well-drained soil and steady watering, and crop reliably through warm weather.
♡ Why we love it: Manageable heat with loads of kitchen range, from quick pico to stuffed poppers. Plants are generous and easy to grow, so even a small bed can keep you in chillies all season.
