Hot Pepper-Serrano

Serrano peppers are a type of chili pepper, or Capsicum anuum which originated in the mountainous regions of Mexico. They're meaty and hot (Scoville units of 25,000), and great for salsas and guacamole.

Latin Name: Capsicum anuum

Planting Guidance: Seeds should be sown 8-10 weeks before planting out after last frost. Plant seeds 1/4 in. deep in well-drained soil in shallow flats. Maintain soil temperature at least 75-85 degrees F for good germination. Peppers won’t germinate in cold potting soil–heat makes a big difference in seeds germinating in 5 days, or seeds taking up to 20 days.
