Craig's Grande Jalapeño, Hot Pepper Seeds

Craig’s Grande Jalapeño, Hot Pepper Seeds — The Big, Bold, Stuffing Jalapeño

When size matters, Craig’s Grande delivers. Significantly larger than standard jalapeños, these hefty 3–4” pods weigh in at 2–3 ounces each with extra-thick flesh built for roasting, stuffing, pickling, and drying. Stocky, short plants load up with fruit from mid-summer right through to frost. A note on heat: peppers that ripen slowly or under stress will be hotter — fast-growing, well-watered pods tend milder. Either way, the flavor is exceptional.

Why Grow Craig’s Grande?

• 3–4” pods, 2–3 oz each — significantly larger than standard jalapeños
• Extra-thick flesh — ideal for roasting, stuffing, and pickling
• Productive from mid-summer to frost — stocky, heavy-bearing plants
• Open-pollinated — save seed year after year

Growing Notes

Start seeds indoors 8–10 weeks before last frost. Transplant to full sun in fertile, well-draining soil, spacing 18 inches apart. Keep evenly watered for milder pods; reduce water for more heat. Harvest green or allow to ripen red.
