not a compact plant

My pot a peno's are all 3' tall (I'm out of room, pruned to that height). That being said, vigorous plant and tasty peppers grown indoors.

Wonderful reliable plant

We've grown Pot a Peno's for 3 years now for sale in our tiny spring veggie sales as well as for home use. It is an attractive, compact plant that does well both in pots and in the ground. It produces scads of smaller 2-3" jalapeno's - perfect for use in cooking and eating.

Tons of tasty little jalapenos in a basket

I grew these last summer in hanging baskets and will definitely be growing more this year.

They're amazingly productive, very early, look great, and have that delicious jalapeno flavor with a bit of heat but not too much. They're especially attractive and tasty when the peppers turn red.

I grow several strains of jalapenos every year and these will certainly be part of the collection from now on.
