Description

A sunset twist on a classic. Orange Spice Jalapeño brings familiar jalapeño crunch and aroma wrapped in a vibrant, tangerine-orange finish. Expect fresh green pepper, citrus zest, and a touch of fruit over a lively, medium-hot kick—perfect for salsas, pickles, and poppers that look as good as they taste.

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 clusters of fruit so the plants read 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 glowing orange, and the firm flesh stuffs neatly for jalapeño poppers and kebabs.

Bite into a fully colored pod and you’ll get sweet pepper notes first, then a bright jalapeño heat that builds and finishes clean without muddiness. In the kitchen, Orange Spice shines anywhere you want jalapeño flavor with festival color: quick refrigerator pickles, pico de gallo, tacos, nachos, citrus-forward hot sauces, and confetti salsas paired with red and yellow peppers. Dried at peak orange and ground, it yields a sunny powder that lifts eggs, roasted vegetables, and rubs with gentle fire.

Selected for color, flavor, and yield, Orange Spice Jalapeño is a dependable garden workhorse with showpiece looks—heavy-setting, easy to use, and unmistakably delicious. Grow it for armfuls of vivid pods and the everyday versatility only a true jalapeño can deliver.
