NuMex Spice Jalapeño – The Colorful Collection from New Mexico State University

Born in the research fields of New Mexico State University, the NuMex Spice series reimagines the jalapeño in vivid citrine hues — lemon yellow, bright orange, and deep pumpkin. These aren't novelty peppers; they're thick-fleshed, bold-flavored, and packed with heat. At 65 days from transplant, they ripen earlier than most standard jalapeños, bringing color and fire to your garden and kitchen ahead of schedule. Orange Spice is the hottest of the trio.

Why Grow NuMex Spice?

  • Vivid citrine colors — lemon, orange & pumpkin hues that pop in salsa and fresh preparations
  • 1,000–5,000 SHU — bold flavor with variable heat across the series
  • 65-day early maturity — ahead of most standard jalapeños
  • Generous packet — 25 Seeds for a full planting
  • 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 18–24 inches apart. Keep evenly watered. Harvest when pods reach full color for peak flavor and heat.
