With similar sizes and shapes to regular Jalapenos, these NuMex Pinata peppers mature from their budding green color to a sprightly yellow, to a vibrant orange, and finally to its bright red. Growers can pick NuMex Pinata peppers off the plant at any stage. Or, if you prefer, enjoy the changing colors from the comfort of your garden or patio!
