Growing Information

Growing La Bomba Hybrid Jalapeño Pepper

‘La Bomba’ is a hybrid jalapeño prized for its continuous production, thick walls, and medium heat. Large, dark green fruits develop with little to no checking beneath a dense leaf canopy that helps protect them from sunscald.

Start ‘La Bomba’ indoors for transplanting. Plant seeds about ¼ inch deep, space plants 24 to 36 inches apart, and grow in full sun. Vigorous upright plants are noted for good disease resistance and also perform well in containers.

Ready to harvest in about 56 days, pick peppers once they reach the size and color you prefer.

Thick walled, moderately hot, and productive, ‘La Bomba’ is excellent for fresh eating, jalapeño poppers, salsa, stuffing, and everyday cooking.

Grown them for years

I live in NE Minnesota and have always had good results with LaBomba. Not too hot, not too mild, they are just right.
I've grown them for years and will continue to do so. The cool weather we usually get doesn't seem to bother them.

Superb yield and quality

I grow a lot of jalapenos for fresh raw use and cooking. I grew four different varieties this year to compare their merits. This was indeed my favorite. It out yielded the others by far. But what was most impressive was the quality of the fruits. Absolutely no "netting" or cracking, even when allowing them to completely turn red. They have thick walls, and wonderful flavor. Great raw in salsas, and the perfect variety for stuffing as a "popper". They have a moderate heat level that you can feel, but does not overshadow the depth and complexity of flavor. The yields continued right up to a hard frost. So many fruits that I had plenty to pickle some as well. I will continue to grow multiple varieties, but LaBomba has become my number one.
