Jalapeño Lemon Spice NuMex Seeds – Spicy Yellow Heat for Your Garden

Add a vibrant pop of color and fiery flavor to your garden with Jalapeño Lemon Spice NuMex Seeds. This stunning yellow jalapeño delivers the thick flesh and bold spice of traditional green jalapeños but with an eye-catching golden hue and an extra kick of heat. Perfect for gardeners and culinary enthusiasts alike, these seeds grow into robust plants that produce early yields of dazzling yellow peppers.

Why Choose Jalapeño Lemon Spice NuMex Seeds?

Bright & Bold Flavor: These yellow jalapeños pack a punch with a Scoville heat rating of 30,000, making them hotter than traditional green varieties. Their thick flesh and spicy taste make them ideal for salsas, pickling, grilling, and more.

Early Harvest: Ready in just 65 days after germination, these peppers mature faster than most, so you can enjoy their vibrant color and heat sooner.

Striking Yellow Color: Unlike common green jalapeños, these peppers transition from green to bright yellow at maturity, adding a beautiful contrast to dishes and garden beds.

Easy to Grow: Whether you're a beginner or an expert gardener, these heirloom, open-pollinated seeds thrive in gardens or large containers, producing 24 in. tall plants with 3 in. long pods.

Each packet contains 10 seeds.

Growing Tips for Success

Start your Jalapeño Lemon Spice NuMex Seeds indoors 8 weeks before the last frost. Plant seeds 1/4" deep in sterile soil, keep them moist, and provide warmth (85°F) and bright light for optimal germination. Transplant seedlings when they develop 6 true leaves, spacing them 30" apart in nutrient-rich soil or 5-gallon containers.

Harvest when peppers reach full size and their sunny yellow color shines. These GMO-free seeds ensure a natural, healthy crop every time.

Perfect for Spice Lovers & Gardeners

With 30,000 Scovilles, gardeners grow these for heat, color, and culinary creativity – and these Jalapeño Lemon Spice NuMex Seeds deliver.

Not your typical mild Jalapeno!!

Wow, these are HOT!! Very productive plants, one of the earliest peppers to have pods on the plant. I also picked some of them green and they are still nice and hot when green. Perfect in salsa, or for spicy poppers. If you are tired of mild jalapenos, this one's for you! I love them. My husband, who've I turned into a lover of all things spicy, will even try a popper or two of these along with our milder regular early Jalapenos and Jalapeno Jaloro which we also grow. The Jaloros are fun as they start out in pale yellow from the get-go, whereas these Lemon Spice are the usual Jalapeno green before they turn to bright yellow. I love that you have so many varieties of jalapenos, we'll like to grow them all over the years.

Lemon spice pepper

A smaller, spicier, colorful, flavorful jalapeño. I have bought these from here a few times over the years. I grow these and the orange spice jalapeños every year. The seeds save well too. I like to mix the orange, yellow, green and red together for a colorful salsa with a kick!

Beautiful and hot!

These plants were super healthy all season long and produced a LOT of fruit. They'll add heat and color to any dish. They made my cowboy candy and pickled jalapeños extra special!

Easy to grow and nice and HOT for a Jalapeno!!

These beautiful yellow jalapenos are nice and HOT! Just how I like my jalapenos. When some other jalapeno varieties tend to be more mild, these have the spicy kick I'm looking for to use for poppers or in salsa or hot sauce. They also grew super fast and kept producing all summer. We also picked them when they were green at first, and they still packed some heat and good flavor. The yellow ones of course had more flavor, but sometimes you want your jalapenos sooner so picking them green is also a great option. I am going to grow these every year!

amazing color

very productive, lots of heat to go with the bright yellow color. Might be a winner for market farmers.

Beautiful in yellow

These were neat to see these turn bright yellow – we made them into poppers all summer, some of them were REALLY hot and others not as much, but they were all delicious.

New Favorite Jalapeno!

These are our new favorite jalapeno seeds to grow – every seed sprouted, and the plants are loaded with jalapenos. We love the bright yellow color they turn when ripe, and also that they grow quite fast. These make awesome jalapeno poppers!

Great Yellow Jalapeno

I first grew these yellow jalapenos a couple of years ago; came here to order green chile seeds and saw these so ordered them as well. Wow, what a great little pepper!
I had great germination, and the seedlings grew rapidly after transplanting. The plants aren't super tall, but boy do they produce. In my garden in Oklahoma they mature quickly and produce continuously until frost.
The flavor is great, a little brighter than a regular jalapeno and quite a bit hotter. We use them with everything and freeze what we don't eat fresh. They are great in the winter when all the fresh peppers are gone.
These peppers will always have a place in my garden and I highly recommend giving them a try.
This is a great company and I have had superior germination with every variety of pepper I have ordered. Great job on outstanding seeds!

love the variety

I love that you can get such a variety of jalapeno, including different colors. These yellow ones were fun to grow and harvest!

Yellow Jalapeno

Best Jalapeno I have ever grown. Ours stayed small (about 2-3 ft tall) and were very prolific. The color is vibrant and flavor is great. The only downside is it takes a long time to ripen. Once they start rippening you will have new ones to pick every day.

Yellow Jalapenos are my new favorite!

I loved growing these in our garden this year, they were quick to harvest, and the yellow color was beautiful and different! I grow in a community garden and so the other gardeners were asking me about these! I will be growing them again this next season, thanks for the great seeds!

Best Yellow Jalapeno Seeds!

I'm excited to grow these again this year, I had great success last year with loads of beautiful lemon yellow jalapenos on my plants. They're great for stuffing with cheese and grilling. We had great germination on these seeds, so we had plenty of plants for the garden. One was planted in a container and it did quite well, too, and made for a nice looking patio plant.
