Jalapeno (Capsicum annuum) is the classic American pizza pepper. Its colourful, glossy peppers have a satisfying crunch and a perfect balance of heat and flavour. These peppers are ideal for chilis and curries, pickling, deep frying with cream cheese to make chilli poppers, or just snacking on. And, you can grow your own with Mr Fothergill's jalapeno seeds!

Jalapeno plants typically grow between 60 and 90 cm (24 to 36 inches) tall and thrive in full sun and well-drained soil. The peppers, which mature to around 5 to 9 cm (2-3.5 inches) long, start green and ripen to red if left on the plant. Jalapenos have a Scoville rating of between 2,500 and 8,000 units; a manageable heat that's enjoyable for most palates.

A Best Buy variety as recommended by the Gardening Press and Consumer Groups.
