Lemon Spice Jalapeño – Sunshine Yellow Heat from New Mexico State University

Bred at New Mexico State University using natural backcrossing techniques, NuMex Lemon Spice is the brightest member of the NuMex Spice series — a sunny, citrine-yellow jalapeño that stops people in their tracks. Extremely prolific plants produce huge harvests of 2½" thick-fleshed pods with the bold, spicy flavor of Early Jalapeño but 3x the heat. The color pops in fresh salsas, yellow hot sauces, and on any plate that needs a visual punch. At 65 days, it's also one of the earliest-ripening peppers you can grow.

Why Grow Lemon Spice Jalapeño?

  • Brilliant lemon-yellow pods — stunning in fresh salsas and preparations
  • 80,000 SHU — 3x hotter than Early Jalapeño — serious heat in a colorful package
  • Extremely prolific — huge harvests all season
  • 65-day early maturity — one of the fastest in the lineup
  • Open-pollinated — save seed year after year

Growing Notes

Start seeds indoors 8 weeks before warm nightly temperatures. Cover ¼" deep in sterile media, provide 85°F bottom heat and bright light. Germination in 7–21 days. Transplant to rich soil 30" apart or into large 5-gallon containers. Harvest when pods reach full lemon-yellow color.
