Jalapeno Deadpool Chilli Seeds – 10 Fresh Seeds

Jalapeño Deadpool is one of the most visually striking Jalapeño-type peppers we have grown.

Originally associated with Joker Chili, this unusual Capsicum annuum combines dramatic dark foliage with beautiful Jalapeño-shaped fruits that undergo an impressive colour transformation as they mature.

The young fruits begin an extremely deep purple-black, often appearing almost completely black. As they ripen, the pods gradually develop warm bronze and red tones before finishing a vivid bright red.

The plant itself is equally impressive. Expect dark purple foliage, black stems and purple veining through the leaves, giving Deadpool a highly ornamental appearance even before the fruits begin to mature.

Our plants have proved extremely vigorous, reaching around 5 ft tall under good growing conditions and producing large, substantial Jalapeño-shaped pods.

The colour progression is one of the standout features:

Black / Purple → Bronze / Red → Bright Red

In terms of heat, Jalapeño Deadpool is generally a little hotter than a standard Jalapeño, while retaining the familiar thick-fleshed Jalapeño character.

A superb choice for growers looking for something genuinely different, combining ornamental appeal with useful edible fruits.

Growing guide

Sow chilli seeds from January to April for the longest possible growing season. For best germination, maintain a compost temperature of around 25–28°C. Sow approximately 5 mm deep in moist seed compost and keep warm until germination. Once seedlings appear, provide plenty of light and gradually pot on as the plants grow. Deadpool is a vigorous variety and benefits from a reasonably large final container, particularly if grown under glass or in a polytunnel. For best results:
  • Germination temperature: 25–28°C
  • Sow: January–April
  • Grow in: greenhouse, polytunnel, conservatory or a warm sheltered position
  • Final pot size: ideally 10–20 litres or larger
  • Feed regularly once flowering begins
  • Harvest pods at any colour stage, or leave them to mature fully to bright red
Earlier purple-black pods are particularly ornamental, while fully ripe red fruits develop the most mature flavour.
