Growing Instructions:

  • Sunlight: Full sun, 6-8 hours daily for the best fruit production.
  • Watering: Keep the soil moist but not soggy. Water at the base of the plant to avoid wet leaves.
  • Support: Use stakes or cages to support plants as they grow and bear fruit.

Why Choose Tam Jalapeño Peppers:

Harvesting Tips:
Tam Jalapeños can be picked when they are deep green for a fresh, tangy flavor or allowed to ripen to a rich red for a slightly sweeter taste. Regular harvesting encourages continuous fruit production throughout the season.

Add Tam Jalapeño peppers to your garden for a mild, flavorful harvest that enhances all your favorite recipes.
