Pepper Chile Serrano Tampiqueño Heirloom
Capsicum annuum
Days to maturity: 78
There is a reason you see so many recipes for Mexican or hot food using Serrano Tampiqueño peppers; they have a distinctive hot flavor excellent for many dishes. Try our Mango-Serrano Pico de Gallo to liven up grilled fish, or our Cilantro-Serrano dressing for a different twist on salad (recipes inside packet). Plants are big - 2' to 3' wide and tall and will be dripping with hot peppers. 6,000-23,000 Scoville Heat Units (medium-hot to hot).
This packet plants approximately 60 plants started indoors.
Days to Emerge: 10-25 days
Seed Depth: 1/4"
Seed Spacing: Start indoors
Row Spacing: 3'
Thinning: Start indoors, plant seedlings 30" apart outside
When to sow outside: 2 to 4 weeks after average last frost when air temperature is at least 70° F and soil temperature is at least 65° F.
When to start inside: RECOMMENDED. 8 to 10 weeks before average last frost. In USDA zones 9 & 10, can also sow in mid-summer for fall crop.
Harvesting: Serranos may be harvested either green or red. When harvesting, take care to avoid touching the interior of any broken peppers, as the capsaicin is an extreme irritant, especially to the eyes. Wash hands thoroughly after harvesting, or wear gloves to harvest peppers.
