Lemon Spice Jalapeño Peppers – 2,000–10,000 SHU | Citrus-Flavored Yellow Jalapeño Seeds

Lemon Spice Jalapeño - (Capsicum annum)

The NuMex Lemon Spice Jalapeño, developed by New Mexico State University's Chile Pepper Institute, is a vibrant yellow variety with a fruity, citrusy flavor and moderate heat (2,500–8,000 Scoville units). Bred from the Permagreen Bell and Early Jalapeño, these peppers maintain their sunny hue throughout ripening, making them as visually striking as they are flavorful. Compact and productive, the plants thrive in hot, dry climates, growing 1–2 feet tall and ideal for container or mixed-bed planting. Perfect for salsas, pickling, stir-fries, or as a fresh topping, the NuMex Lemon Spice combines beauty and culinary versatility in one exceptional pepper.
