Pepper Pot-a-peno F1

2021 AAS Edible  – Vegetable Winner

Pot-a-peno is a fun new jalapeno pepper with a compact habit perfect for growing in containers and hanging baskets. Plentiful small, green jalapeño fruits have a traditional spicy zip that is great in any dish where you want a little punch of spice. Simply leave the fruit on the vine a few extra weeks and they will ripen to red for a sweet, spicy flavor. This variety is earlier to mature than other jalapenos giving you a head start on your garden’s harvest. A unique trait of Pot-a-peno is how the fruit hangs down beneath the plant making it very easy to harvest without damaging the appearance or productivity of the plant. A dense foliage canopy makes for an attractive addition to your patio or balcony garden.

JUDGE'S OBSERVATIONS

  • “Love the mild heat not overbearing to eat fresh”
  • “I love this pepper! Maturity is a big plus, fruit came on earlier than the controls and had better field holding. Set tons of fruit. Taste was good and ease of harvest was great, fruit came right off and didn’t damage stems- a very nice feature.”
  • “Really liked the compact form on this pepper🌶 . It’s perfect for container gardens.”
  • “The habit is well adapted for container growing. The canopy covered the fruit well. Perfect for patio gardening.”
  • “Great container variety. Would make a good plant for the patio.”
