About this pepper

BPC Meow is a jalapeño-type Capsicum annuum seed line used by Bings Peppers Company (BPC) in Queensland, Australia. The name appears in their posts showing bulk jalapeño seed handling and distribution, including a reference to processing approximately 1.1 kg of jalapeño seed labelled under the BPC Meow name.

The context of those posts places the pepper within BPC’s expanding seasonal seed range, suggesting that “BPC Meow” functions primarily as an in-house label for a jalapeño line rather than a widely standardised cultivar name documented across the broader pepper trade.

Because it is identified simply as a jalapeño-type pepper, the heat estimate follows the typical jalapeño heat range of about 2,500–8,000 SHU. A single-number entry of 5,000 SHU is used here as a midpoint consistent with that classification.

Outside of BPC’s own listings and social posts, the name does not appear widely documented in independent horticultural references, reinforcing the likelihood that it is a catalogue or house designation rather than a formally recognised cultivar.
