Jalafuego Hot Pepper (Garden Starter Plant)
$499
4"
Hybrid. A large, strong plant, Jalafuego produces loads of extra-long jalapeños. This is the perfect pepper for super-sized poppers, big bowls of salsa, and jalapeño cornbread. Fruit resists cracking, and gets hotter the longer it stays on the plant. Plants have excellent disease resistance, and may need staking once they’re loaded down with fruit.
Resistant to bacterial leaf spot and potato virus.
