Description

Bright, zesty heat with a citrus glow. Lemon Spice Jalapeño brings classic jalapeño crunch and aroma in a sunny yellow package, delivering fresh green pepper flavor layered with lemon zest and a friendly, medium kick. It turns everyday salsas, pickles, and poppers into eye-catching crowd-pleasers without straying from that familiar jalapeño vibe.

The plants are sturdy and prolific, typically 2 to 3 feet tall with a well-branched habit that loads each node with smooth, blunt-tipped pods. Clean, dark foliage frames the fruit so the plants look ornamental long before ripening. Pods average 3 to 4 inches with thick, juicy walls that snap when sliced, hold shape on the grill, and pickle beautifully. They mature from glossy green to a clear, lemon yellow that signals peak sweetness and aroma; the flesh stuffs neatly for jalapeño poppers and skewers.

Bite into a fully colored pod and you’ll get bright pepper and citrus first, followed by a clean jalapeño warmth that lingers pleasantly. In the kitchen, Lemon Spice shines wherever you want jalapeño flavor with sunny color: refrigerator pickles, pico de gallo, tacos, nachos, citrus-forward hot sauces, and confetti salsas paired with red and orange peppers. Dried at full yellow and ground, it yields a golden powder that lifts eggs, roasted vegetables, and rubs with gentle fire. A dependable garden workhorse with showpiece looks, Lemon Spice Jalapeño brings generous yields, festive color, and the easy versatility cooks reach for all season.
