Chilli Jalapeno is used in the majority of chilli eating contests, however it actually varies from mild to hot depending on how it was grown and how it was prepared.
The heat is concentrated in the seeds and the veins, so if you want it on the milder end of its scale, remove those parts.
Jalapeno is used in Mexican cooking and is the chilli found on nachos. These plants are tall growers and very productive.
Can be grown in the greenhouse or if in pots with support, moved out after the risk of frosts onto the patio.
