Jalapeño Tiger is a visually distinctive Capsicum annuum jalapeño variety grown for its striped fruit and manageable heat. It combines ornamental appeal with practical culinary use, making it suitable for both display and kitchen growing.
Pods are medium-sized, cylindrical, and blunt-ended, developing characteristic tiger-like striping during ripening. Fruits typically mature from green with lighter striping to red when fully ripe. Pod walls are thick and crisp, well suited to slicing, stuffing, pickling, and cooking.
Flavour is fresh and vegetal with the classic jalapeño profile. Heat is regarded as Mild, delivering gentle warmth that does not overwhelm dishes. No formally published Scoville Heat Unit figure is available for this variety.
Plants are compact to medium in size and productive, performing well in containers, greenhouses, and sheltered outdoor positions. The striped pods provide added visual interest throughout the fruiting period.
The breeder and detailed background of Jalapeño Tiger are not formally documented. It is recognised as a decorative jalapeño selection valued for pod appearance and everyday culinary versatility rather than intensity.
Germination temperature 28–30 °C. See our Water and Feed Guides for advise.
