Numex Vaquero
Numex Vaquero Chilli Seeds. The Numex Vaquero (C. Annuum) is a hot Jalapeño cultivar created by the CPI. An easy and hardy grower developed for improved heat and improved resistance to various infections. Medium to large plants produce well throughout the season. Pods are in our experience smaller than regular Jalapeños with a more rounded shape. Pods ripen from green to red and have "corking" on the skin. Fleshy thick skinned pods with great Jalapeño flavour and a particularly high heat for Jalapeños - ±30,000 SHU. Excellent for nice and fiery Jalapenõ Poppers.

* The container sizes above are sugested sizes that are reasonable and accessible for most growers (taking price, space, ecological/environmental impact into consideration). Not everyone can look at growing in huge containers. If you can justify growing in larger containers - there are no limitations on container sizes. You may however, rather look at growing in soil as an option in these instances. Using large amounts of potting medium will come with ecological/environmental impact, which you may wish to take into consideration.
