Growing Instructions
Start seeds indoors 8–10 weeks before your last frost date. Use a warm seed-starting setup, as peppers germinate best with consistent heat. Transplant outdoors after frost when nights remain above 10°C (50°F). Choose rich, well-drained soil and water regularly, keeping moisture even for the best yields. Support plants if they become heavy with fruit. For a milder flavour, harvest when green; for more sweetness and heat, allow peppers to fully colour. Regular picking encourages continuous production.

FAQ
Q: How hot are the Jalapeño Travellers Mix peppers?
A: They range from mild to classic medium jalapeño heat, making them versatile for many dishes.

Q: Will the peppers cross-pollinate and affect flavour this season?
A: Cross-pollination affects only the seeds, not the peppers you harvest this year — so your fruits will stay true to type.

Q: Do I need to soak jalapeño seeds before planting?
A: Soaking jalapeño seeds isn’t required, but it can speed up germination. Pepper seeds have a tough outer coating, and soaking them in warm water for 6–12 hours helps soften the seed coat and improves moisture absorption. This can lead to faster, more even sprouting—especially for older seeds.
