Note
Found at Atlantic Pepper Seeds in 2019 and first grown in 2020. We got plants of different heights. Either the variety wasn’t fully stabilized or there was an error during bagging. But we immediately saw the potential of dwarf plants, for container and/or indoor cultivation. Jalapenos on dwarf plants is really something! So we grew it every year to make the variety uniform. It’s a small jalapeno, but too hot for us. It looks appetizing, and we’d love to be able to eat it!
