Variegated Tigar Jalapeño plant
The plant itself is tiny compared to my other jalapenos but it’s loaded with flowers. I can’t wait to see what the fruits look like!

What in tarnation. This is a real jalapeño plant that’s supposed to look that way and is going to produce edible peppers??
Hopefully yeah but I doubt it’s supposed to look that way though! As far as I understand it the weird white bits are the result of a genetic mutation. I didn’t expect it to survive this long and now it has a load of flowers on it so I’ll find out real soon what sort of fruit it bears 🤞🤞
Well it’s fascinating, good luck and keep us posted!
This doesn't look like any pepper plant I've ever seen, amazing!

I've got bunch of weird peppers seeds from Matt's Peppers, but somehow I failed to sow them. Do y'all think peppers can grow at home?
Hell yeah man. I sowed these in my bedroom and grew them in the window for months before I repotted them and put them outside. I got almost all of my info for learning to grow on the Pepper Geek channel on youtube. I’m still a novice - this is only my second year growing and in my first year I killed all of them lol.
Reminds me of the Fish Peppers I've grown the past 3 years! But definitely less hot/more versatile!
This is so wild! Never seen anything like it. Where’d you find this species?
Here’s where I bought the seeds - https://www.reddragonseeds.co.uk/shop/jalapeno-tiger-chilli-seeds/
Ah cool! Thanks for the link.
Does the fruit look normal?
I grew jalapeños just like this last year. The peppers were green with white swirls, but ripened to completely red.
Mine were smaller than regular jalapenos, but tasted just as good.
