The Bonnie Plants Serrano Pepper plants produce hot, pungent, candle-shaped fruits that are ideal for pickling and salsa, as well as starring in Pico de Gallo. These fruits register 15,000 to 30,000 Scoville Heat Units! You'll see great results when you grow these peppers in containers, but they can use some support (such as cages or stakes) to keep them straight and strong. Plants perform well in most climates and are especially well adapted to hot, humid areas. When growing, give your plants room to thrive by spacing the serrano pepper plants 18 inches apart in areas where they'll be in full sun every day. The fruits mature from green to bright red and will reach their peak 80 days after planting. This is a vigorous plant and will produce a heavy harvest! When harvesting fruits, use shears or a sharp knife to avoid damaging the plant. Use Miracle-Gro Soil and Plant Food to grow Bonnie Plants Serrano Pepper and enjoy your best harvest yet. Get a jump start on growing at home by starting with a young live plant instead of seed with Bonnie Plants.
