Whether you’re a seasoned chef or just love a bit of spice in your meals, Serrano chillies bring the heat and flavour you crave.

Why Capsicum Serrano is Perfect for Your Garden:

  • Abundant Harvest: Each Serrano plant produces dozens of slender, glossy chillies that you can pick throughout the growing season. Enjoy the versatility of this pepper by harvesting them green for a milder taste or letting them ripen to a vibrant red for maximum heat. Imagine the satisfaction of picking your own fresh chillies, knowing you’ve nurtured them from seed to fruit! 🌱

  • Bright, Citrusy Flavour: Serrano chillies are renowned for their crisp, bright flavour with a delightful citrusy undertone. This makes them perfect for salsas, hot sauces, and a wide range of spicy dishes. Whether you’re spicing up a homemade salsa or adding a fiery touch to your favourite recipes, these chillies will make every meal more exciting. 🍽️

  • Manageable Heat: With a Scoville rating of 10,000 to 23,000 units, Serrano peppers offer a heat level similar to cayenne—enough to add a fiery kick without overwhelming your taste buds. This balanced heat allows you to enjoy the full spectrum of the chilli’s flavour, making your dishes as enjoyable as they are spicy. 🌶️

  • Easy to Grow: Serrano chillies are as rewarding to grow as they are to eat. They thrive in warm, sunny conditions, with a short germination period of just 7-14 days and a quick harvest time of 65-80 days. Whether you’re growing them in a garden or a sunny spot on your patio, these chillies will reward you with a bountiful and flavourful harvest.
