Purple Jalapeño

Purple Jalapeño chilli seeds. F3. This is a purple variant of a very common and much used chilli. These are smallish to medium Jalapeños that change from dark green to brown and finally a purple colour. These pods will eventually change to a dark red colour when fully ripe. Very juicy and fruity Jalapeños with a good heat. An attractive medium sized plant with lovely purple flowers and green/purple foliage. A very suitable candidate for growing on balconies.

* 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.
