Growing Tips, Tricks and FAQs

Growing Tips

The Pumpkin Spice jalapeño is a colorful heirloom variety that grows best in full sun and well-drained, nutrient-rich soil. You can use a heat mat to help warm up the soil and speed up germination.

When to Grow

Start seeds indoors 8–12 weeks before the final frost date, then transplant outdoors once temperatures don’t drop below 65 F. Pumpkin Spice jalapeños grow well in USDA Zones 5–10, offering a long harvest season of vivid orange peppers​.

How to Sow and Plant

Begin seeds indoors 8–12 weeks before the final frost date, then transplant outdoors once temperatures don’t drop below 65 F. Pumpkin Spice jalapeños grow well in USDA Zones 5–10, offering a long harvest season of vivid orange peppers​.

How to Grow

Pumpkin Spice jalapeños need 8-12 hours of direct sunlight daily and prefer slightly acidic to neutral soil. Water regularly but allow the top inch of soil to dry between waterings to prevent root rot. Fertilize every 3–4 weeks with a balanced fertilizer, reducing nitrogen once the plants start flowering and setting fruit. Consider staking to support the branches as the peppers mature and grow heavy​.

How to Save

  • Peppers are mainly self-pollinating, but bees occasionally work pepper flowers as well.
  • To be absolutely sure that you will not have any crossing, different varieties should be isolated by at least 500 feet.
  • It is a good idea to wear gloves when working with very hot peppers, and to consider wearing a mask when working with a large quantity of dried seeds.
  • To save seed, allow the fruit to mature fully; then simply remove seeds.
  • Let seeds dry for a week before storing them in a jar.
  • Pepper seeds will remain viable for up to 5 years.
