Orange Spice Jalapeño is a vibrant twist on the classic jalapeño, featuring a bold orange hue that sets it apart. This striking color comes from carotenoids—naturally occurring pigments like beta-carotene and capsanthin, which also give pumpkins and carrots their signature shades. More than just a nod to autumn, the name reflects its shared phytochemical profile with other orange-hued vegetables.
 
Maturing from green to a rich tangerine-orange, Orange Spice maintains the familiar jalapeño kick with a slightly sweeter, fruitier undertone as it ripens. Its heat level is comparable to a standard jalapeño, delivering a satisfying balance of spice and flavor. The same carotenoids that make carrots sweet, is why this jalapeno has a sweet flavor with a kick.
 
The color transformation occurs as chlorophyll breaks down, allowing the orange carotenoids to shine through. These compounds not only enhance the pepper’s visual appeal but also offer antioxidant benefits.
 
The plants are compact, reaching about 24–36 inches in height, and produce medium-sized peppers averaging 2–3 inches long. They’re excellent for fresh use, grilling, stuffing, pickling, or brightening up salsas and sauces with their fiery color and flavor.
 
Harvest: 90–120 days

Most people don’t know that the trick to big healthy peppers that you see in the store is calcium! Peppers require calcium to reach their maximum potential and to help them combat pests naturally. 
 
Use your spent eggshells or garden gypsum to add calcium to the soil in addition to vegetable fertilizer. I use organic chicken manure based fertilizer. 
 
Do not plant peppers where you just previously planted tomatoes, eggplant or potatoes as this can make them more susceptible to disease as they are all from
the same family. The pests that are attracted to these plants can remain in the soil for a while and build up and cause problems for future crops. They also use the same nutrients and can deplete the soil of what they need in particular if planted in the same spot. It’s always good as a general rule to add fresh soil and rotate all crops. 
 
Zones 4-8: Plant when all danger of frost has passed when daytime temps reach 70 degrees or start indoors with good strong lighting and transfer outdoors when temps have reached 70 degrees.
 
Zones 9+: Plant any time of year.
