Serrano Tampiqueño Pepper (Capsicum annuum) is a popular heirloom variety known for its vibrant green to red, slender, and slightly curved pods. These peppers are prized for their bold, crisp, and moderately hot flavor, with a Scoville heat rating of 10,000–23,000 SHU. Ideal for salsas, hot sauces, pickling, and adding heat to a wide range of dishes, Serrano Tampiqueño peppers are a staple in Mexican cuisine. The vigorous, upright plants are highly productive, yielding dozens of 2–3 inch peppers throughout the growing season.

Growing Instructions

Start Serrano Tampiqueño seeds indoors 8–10 weeks before the last frost date. Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep in seed-starting mix, maintaining temperatures between 70–85°F for optimal germination. Transplant seedlings outdoors when nighttime temperatures consistently stay above 55°F. Space plants 18–24 inches apart in rows 24–36 inches apart. Peppers thrive in full sun and nutrient-rich, well-draining soil. Keep the soil consistently moist but avoid waterlogging. Harvest when peppers reach 2–3 inches in length and have turned from green to red for a slightly sweeter flavor. Handle with care as the capsaicin can cause skin irritation.
