Capsicum ‘Serrano’

A small fruited Serrano type pepper that produces flavorful, hot, dark green, 2-2 1/2” fruit even in cool summers. Serrano Huasteca peppers are a bit slower to turn red and ripen than some of our other early hot pepper varieties, but the extra flavor is worth the wait. Serrano peppers are popular for their field productivity and diverse utility in the kitchen, and are the second most used hot pepper in Mexican cuisine after jalapeños.

• Bloom Time: Mid to late summer. Harvest 70-90 days after transplanting.
• Light Requirements: Full Sun to Part Sun (6 to 6+ Hours)
• Soil Requirements: Well-draining, fertile, slightly acidic to neutral soil is key. Prefers loamy soil.
