Jalapeño Black Bullet is a bold and visually striking take on the classic jalapeño, bred for its deep colour and excellent flavour balance. Its pods develop from dark green to a rich, glossy brown-black, offering a beautiful contrast to the plant’s bright green foliage. Compact and prolific, this variety performs well in containers or open ground, making it ideal for both home and commercial growers.
The pods are thick-walled and cylindrical, with dense, juicy flesh that holds its shape well when cooked. Their unique dark hue gives way to a smoky depth when roasted or grilled, while retaining the familiar jalapeño character and crunch.
Flavour is robust and slightly sweet, underpinned by moderate heat — typically around 5 000 to 10 000 SHU — placing it comfortably within the Medium range. It’s a versatile chilli for poppers, salsas, pickling or fresh slicing, adding both heat and dramatic visual appeal.
Plants are sturdy, compact, and reliable, producing heavy yields through the summer. Jalapeño Black Bullet is considered easy to grow, thriving in warm, sunny conditions and rewarding with continuous harvests.
Developed as a colour variant of the traditional jalapeño, this variety combines classic Mexican flavour with contemporary visual flair — a perfect choice for growers seeking both productivity and aesthetic impact.
Germination temperature 28–30 °C. See our Water and Feed Guides for advise.
