About Lemon Spice, Pepper Seed
A crossing of a Permagreen Bell pepper and an Early Jalapeno variety bred by New Mexico State in 1995. A flavorful variety of pepper known for its vibrant, citrusy tang paired with a mild to medium heat. This pepper is often recognized for its bright yellow to orange color and its zesty, lemon-like aroma, which makes it stand out in both culinary and ornamental uses. They can be used fresh, dried, or in sauces to add a refreshing, tangy kick to dishes, and are particularly popular in salsas, salads, and marinades.

Tips
Pests & Diseases
Bacterial spot, Phytophthora blight, anthracnose, Verticillium wilt, and mosaic viruses are major pepper diseases. Select resistant varieties and clean seed, rotate nightshades, and prevent soil splash. Remove plants with mosaic or sudden crown collapse. Harvest fruit dry and discard any with sunken, expanding lesions.
Watch pepper for aphids, flea beetles, hornworms, cutworms, and whiteflies. Remove egg masses and caterpillars, protect young stems, and encourage beneficial insects before using labeled controls.
