Fiery hot and excellent for drying. An attractive plant. A new jalapeno pepper with relatively mild pungency. Mature fruit have registered in the 300 to 400 range on the Scoville heat unit scale, compared to the 4,000 to 5,000 Scoville units that standard jalapenos are. This means a lot of jalapeno flavor without extensive heat, allowing great fresh and cooked dishes to be made with jalapenos for those who prefer milder food.
Plants are very productive, early maturing and resistant to numerous diseases.
Yields a large quantity of 6 inch yellow fruits which turn red when fully ripened. Not real hot, but certainly pungent. This exceptionally ornamental pepper is also one of the hottest we have encountered. Each leaf is green with cream colored splotches and purple veining, in irregular and variable combinations. We grew this with equal success in pots and in the garden, though the container-grown plants yielded more fruit, set them earlier, and could be moved inside from the porch when frost came.
