What Makes Survival Garden Seeds Different - non-GMO heirloom seeds

Add bold flavor and steady heat to your garden with Serrano Pepper Seeds from Survival Garden Seeds. This heirloom Capsicum annuum variety produces slender 3–4 inch peppers with medium heat—typically 10,000–25,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU)—and a bright, crisp flavor that elevates salsas, sauces, and pickled dishes.

Highly productive and adaptable, Serrano plants grow 24–36 inches tall and thrive in full sun with well-drained soil. Suitable for USDA zones 4–11, these compact, bushy plants deliver continuous harvests throughout the warm season. Their reliable yields and clean, spicy flavor make them a favorite among home gardeners, food preservers, and hot sauce makers alike.

Spicy, Productive, and Versatile:

  • 3–4 inch fruits with medium heat (10,000–25,000 SHU)
  • Distinctly bright, fresh flavor for sauces, salsas, and pickles
  • Grows 24–36 inches tall and matures in 75–90 days
  • Thrives in full sun and performs well in containers or garden beds
  • Excellent for drying, canning, or making chili flakes

Why Gardeners Love Serrano Peppers:

  • Heirloom, open-pollinated, and non-GMO for sustainable growing
  • Dependable yields and long harvest window
  • Ideal for hot climates and small-space gardens
  • Great for adding flavor depth to fresh or preserved foods
  • Easy to grow with minimal maintenance

How to Grow:

  • Start seeds indoors 8–10 weeks before the last frost date.
  • Maintain soil temperatures between 75–85°F for germination (7–14 days).
  • Transplant outdoors once soil warms and frost danger has passed.
  • Space plants 18 inches apart in full sun with well-drained soil.
  • Harvest in 75–90 days, when fruits are firm and green or allowed to ripen red for extra heat.
