Serrano Tampiqueño - This variety has a distinctive and unique hot flavor! It is crisp, bright and notably hotter than the jalapeño it resembles. Serranos are typically eaten raw, so no need to roast or peel. Popular in pico de gallo, salsas, and soups. This Tampiqueño variety has superior flavor compared to other serranos.
Small 2-1/2" long and 1/2" wide peppers grow on productive 24" plants. A little pepper with a big kick. Capsicum annuum (78 days) Heirloom - Open-pollinated
Heat Level: Very Hot Scoville 15,000 - 25,000
~ Packet contains 30 seeds.
In early spring, start seeds indoors 8 weeks prior to warm nightly temperatures. Place the seeds in sterile media and cover 1/4” deep. Provide 85°F bottom heat, bright light and keep moist at all times. Seeds will germinate in 7 - 21 days. Transplant seedlings into pots and grow until there are 6 true leaves on the plant. Plant them directly into rich soil, 30” apart or into large 5 gallon containers. Harvest chiles when they are green. If left on the plant a couple more weeks, the chiles will turn red at full maturity.
All of our seeds are GMO-free.
I will let you know after the pepper fruits.
thank you,

These were the first seeds to germinate--I started 6 and all seeds sprouted. The two that I grew to maturity have done very well in containers and had great yields for their size. Great flavor and pretty hot. I'm definitely growing these again next year!
Such a terrific variety and a lot more slim and easier to handle than other varieties of Serrano (which tend to be fatter). Spicy as all heck and they mature quickly and the yield has been outstanding, so far. It's only early August. I expect another 40 to 50 peppers. I'll be using the mature, red pepper as part of a fermented hot sauce.
I absolutely love serrano tampiqueno peppers. I have great germination, they mature fast, and are heavy producing plants. The peppers are quite hot but have wonderful flavor. I grow these peppers every year from seed from Sandia Seed Co.
These plants matured much faster than i expected.
When i picked three serranos, i made salsa out of them. I let it sit in the fridge for a few hours, i tasted it. It had a nice sweet flavor, and a nice hot flavor too.
You guys are the best seed selling company i have ever bought from!

These fabulous peppers added lots of color to our patio pots. So pretty in multiple colors, plus you can pick them and add to salsa for a nice spicy kick. These are fun in any ornamental edible garden.
We let these hang dry, then ground them up – they made the tastiest pepper flakes. They have a nice kick, but good flavor too. Easy to grow plants, pretty peppers.
Great seeds, good germination, plants grow quickly and produce lots of pods for roasting. Great flavor and just the right amount of spice. We grow these every year in our garden in Utah.
These are so beautiful, tasty, and meaty. They make a great pico-de-gallo!
These were so big, one tomato can make a nice big bowl of salsa. They do have amazing flavor and color.
These were so tasty and very productive. Great for salsa.
I tried these purple Cherokee seeds on 2024. This is the first time growing these purple Cherokees and were amazed at the ease of germination and taste
These germinated in two days. I started them in midsummer and they fruited by late fall in my zone 10b garden and are overwintering just fine. I’ll have more to harvest by late spring. I made my red sauce for pozole for Christmas with my harvest!
Big Chiles with just enough heat to add to green enchilada's. The flavor after roasting is fantastic. Since green chile roasting is not a local thing in Eastern Washington we us a weed burner. The smell of roasting peppers is heavenly.
My favorite green chili to grow. Plenty of heat and after roasting sit perfectly on a hamburger. Also my wonderful wife makes Puelo Chili jam that is a real crowd pleaser
I was looking for a spicier New Mexico red chile and this was awesome! It is a beautiful looking pepper and the taste is superb.
Very productive plants even up here in New England!
Plants were quite bushy and full of peppers. Great flavor. Made a wonderful little Ristra with some of the later harvested peppers. Will continue to grow these yearly.
These plants were super healthy all season long and produced a LOT of fruit. They'll add heat and color to any dish. They made my cowboy candy and pickled jalapeños extra special!
Very good germination rate and super abundant and delicious peppers!. I had them in 10g and 5g fabric pots and they very well the last two years. Amazing to smoke and dry / freeze to have throughout the year! I just made a spicy brown porter mustard with scotch bonnets! Also made an amazing roasted scotch bonnet hot sauce! yum!
