Czech Black Jalapeno has been a personal favorite to grow since 2017.  One of the earliest peppers to ripen (like weeks before other peppers) and super prolific!!  Matures from black to a dark garnet red, glossy and gorgeous.  Juicy, medium thickness and absolutely perfect for pickling.  Eat it black or red!  

Slightly conical shaped fruits are 2.5-3" long and glossy.  Plants average 2-3' in height but in favorable conditions, can grow up to 3.5' tall! Staking is recommended.  

Fave color combos: 

    • Czech Black Jalapeno + Cardinal Basil 
    • Czech Black Jalapeno + Showstopper Tomato
    • Czech Black Jalapeno + Texas Hummingbird Sage

Pepper plants thrive in full sun and well-draining, fertile soil.  Mulch at the base of the plant to retain soil moisture throughout the summer and suppress weeds.  Great for containers! SHU (Scoville Heat Units): 5,000.   

  • Days to Harvest: 65 days to black, 80 days to garnet red
  • Companion Plants: Basil, Cilantro, Marigolds, Tomatoes, Tulsi 
  • Open-Pollinated (OP)
  • Plant Spacing: 12 - 24"
