(80-90 Days)
This is the rare and beautiful purple version of the jalapeno! Compact plants produce tons of 2 1/2 inch long peppers that ripen from green, to deep purple, and then finally to red as they mature. They’re fantastic at all stages, but are spicier and have a more complex flavor profile when they are fully ripe. Purple Jalapenos are pretty enough to be an ornamental, but are delicious enough for any culinary use!

Pepper Planting Instructions –
Plant Seeds in high quality seed starting soil mix in shallow flats/plant cells at ¼ inch depth. The most common time to start pepper is 6-8 weeks before you plan to transplant after your area’s last frost date. Peppers (especially hot peppers) can be tricky to germinate. Make sure to maintain high soil temperatures of at least 75-85 degrees. We highly recommend using a heat mat (especially with hot peppers) if you need help maintaining these temperatures. This will give you way faster and higher percentage germination. Keep seeds consistently moist (a humidity dome is helpful). Make sure to be patient. Pepper seeds can take any where from a few days to around a month to germinate depending on the variety (hot peppers usually take much longer than sweet peppers). After the seeds sprout we recommend putting them under grow lights(or a good source or light) and maintaining consistently warm temperatures. Wait until there are 3 sets of true leaves before transplanting to larger containers. Nighttime temperatures should be close to or above 60 degrees every night when you transplant peppers outdoors for them to thrive.
