NADAPENO PEPPER (Capsicum annuum)

Transplant | Mid–Late May | Annual

Nadapeno peppers look just like classic jalapeños but without the heat. These smooth, thick-walled peppers grow to about 3 inches long and mature from green to bright red while delivering the familiar jalapeño flavor with a completely mild bite.

Perfect for gardeners who love the flavor of jalapeños but prefer a gentle spice level, Nadapeno peppers are excellent for fresh salsa, stuffing, grilling, pickling, and roasting. The crisp texture and rich flavor make them incredibly versatile in the kitchen.

Highly productive and easy to grow, Nadapeno plants produce generous harvests of flavorful peppers throughout the summer.
