Felix Jalapeño peppers arrive with a crisp, bright snap and a lively, medium heat that blooms into a clean, peppery savor. At maturity they shine in glossy deep green, maturing toward a warmer red with a smooth, thick-walled feel that holds its shape beautifully. Grow Felix for bold fresh snacking, vibrant roasting, and standout salsas and pickles that keep their color and character.

Frequently Asked Questions


How often should I water Capsicum annuum during the main growing phase?
During active flowering and fruit set, keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy—about 1 inch (2.5 cm) of water per week, adjusted for heat and container size. Water deeply at the base when the top 1 inch of soil feels dry, because irregular moisture can trigger blossom drop and misshapen fruit.
How can I tell when ‘Felix’ (Capsicum annuum) is ready to harvest?
Harvest when peppers reach the expected size for your plants and the skin looks firm and glossy; ‘Felix’ is typically ready around 75 days after transplant. For jalapeño-style peppers, pick when they turn green to red as desired—green is usually earlier/milder, while fully red is more mature and hotter. Use scissors or snips to cut the fruit with a short stem to avoid tearing the plant.
