Serrano Huasteca Pepper Seeds – 10+ Florida Grown Seeds

 

🌶️🇲🇽 A flavorful heirloom from Mexico’s Huasteca region. The Serrano Huasteca is a traditional serrano variety known for its rich flavor and reliable performance—even in cooler climates. These slender, bullet-shaped peppers grow 2–2.5 inches long and ripen from deep green to vibrant red, offering a crisp texture and medium heat that’s ideal for salsas, hot sauces, and fresh pico de gallo.
