Craig's Grande Heirloom Jalapeño Pepper

‘Craig’s Grande’ is an heirloom jalapeño prized for its jumbo size, dependable yields, and bold classic flavor. Plump peppers average about 4 inches long and are noticeably thicker than standard jalapeños, with heat ranging from approximately 3,000 to 8,000 Scoville units.

Start ‘Craig’s Grande’ indoors for transplanting. Plant seeds about ¼ inch deep and space plants 18 to 24 inches apart. Grow in full sun. Short, stocky plants are especially well suited to smaller garden spaces.

Ready to harvest in about 75 days, pick peppers at the mature size and color you prefer, from green jalapeños to fully ripened fruits.

Bold, thick walled, and versatile, ‘Craig’s Grande’ is excellent for stuffing, grilling, slicing, salsa, sauces, pickling, fresh eating, and everyday cooking.
