A.P. Whaley Staff –
Serranos are one of my favorite peppers! The heat level and size make them good for just about everything. I like to use them in place of jalapenos because I prefer the taste. They are good green or red. Plus, it would be hard to find a more productive plant! In our trials, these gave us hundreds of peppers up until frost. They are a somewhat wider, bushier plant than some peppers, so give them a little extra space. They have a nice round growth habit.
