NEW FOR 2010!! (70 days) Prized for its heat. Early Jalapeno is an easy pepper to grow. The plant's compact size (2') makes it an excellent candidate for urban gardening, and it matures very early, setting fruit under cooler conditions than most other hot peppers. The short, 2-3" fruits are thick-walled and juicy and are great eaten fresh, cooked, dried, and in salsa. Although we're used to using them green, they're actually hottest when they ripen to a deep red.

(70 80 days) A perfect pepper for containers, window boxes and garden borders, this delightful little gem grows only 6 high. The striking foliage resembles bay leaves and the tiny, marble-sized, round fruits turn from pale green to orange to red as they ripen. Since they all ripen at different times, they create a wonderful rainbow of colours. The fruit is edible, but hot.
(80 days) This beautiful pepper produces masses of narrow, finger-sized, bright orange peppers on 22.5 plants. Highly-ornamental, it would look beautiful on the patio or balcony. The peppers are extremely hot, and are good for drying and using as seasoning.
