Purple Jalapeno Hot Peppers [7/03/2021] [TERMINATED]

[mike]

These seeds came from Jim Duffy for the 2020 season. I'm growing them on the right side of my Farm XL. I currently have four pods in the center of the garden. I will only grow two of them.

The Purple Jalapeño is the tastiest of the Jalapeños. It is sweeter than a red or green jalapeño.

The chile plants can get almost 3 feet tall and will produce a lot if picked frequently. Peppers ripen from green to dark purple to burgundy red. They can be used like any other jalapeño but make an attractive pickled pepper when purple.

Added 16 ml nutes.

Another interesting, different pepper!

Agree with Sher!  This is one I'll enjoy watching and pondering the possibilities!

[Shawn]

Good to know, adding yet another one LOL

I don't see any activity here yet. Perhaps on one pod. I'm really hoping for these to germinate. These have the largest plant at 3-feet. The pepper, too, is larger. 3 to 5 inches. It is also more pointed than most jalapenos. It IS a hybrid. But I really want to see their beautiful purple blooms.

It's only been a week. Peppers can take up to three weeks to germinate.

I sure hope they germinate. I want to see what they look like and most importantly, how they taste when you harvest them! Good luck.

[mike]

Me too. I'm not sure how old the seeds are, though. I may just order some fresh seeds.

I got the new seeds today from David's Seeds through Amazon. They will be planted today.

I am glad you got new seeds. Best of luck!
