Description

The Serrano chili comes from the highlands of Mexico. This is why it ripens somewhat faster than the warmth-loving tropical varieties. Although the ripe red fruits have a much more aromatic and sweeter taste, Serranos are almost only eaten green in Mexico. The plants develop small crowns on sturdy stems.

Non hybrid

Not frost resistant

Growing tips
