Quick Reference

Zones

Plant Hardiness Zones describe the average minimum winter temperature for a region. They tell you where a plant can reliably survive outdoors. For example, Zone 5 can handle colder winters than Zone 9. Matching a plant to your zone increases the chance of long-term success.

Days

  • For food crops: Days to maturity is the expected number of days from planting to first harvest. This helps gardeners plan their growing season and time their harvests.
  • For non-food plants: Days to germination indicates how long it usually takes seeds to sprout under normal conditions. This is key for starting seeds successfully.

Types

  • F1 (Hybrid): A cross between two parent varieties. Hybrids are bred for vigor, uniformity, and specific traits such as disease resistance. Seeds saved from F1 plants don’t grow true to type. That means if you try to regrow them from seed, the plant won't necessarily be the same as last year's
  • OP (Open-Pollinated): Varieties that naturally pollinate and remain stable across generations. Seeds can be saved and replanted with consistent results.
  • HM (Heirloom): An open-pollinated variety that has been handed down for many generations. Heirlooms are valued for flavor, tradition, and genetic diversity.

Grows

  • Outdoors: Well-suited for garden beds, raised beds, or open soil, where natural conditions are stable.
  • Windowsill: Compact plants that thrive in containers indoors, often needing only modest light.
  • Anywhere: Highly adaptable plants that perform reliably in both indoor and outdoor settings.

Lifecycle

  • Annual: Grows, flowers, sets seed, and dies in one growing season. Many vegetables and flowers are annuals.
  • Perennial: Lives for multiple years, regrowing each season after going dormant. Often used in landscaping or long-term food crops.
  • Sp. Perennial (Self-Perennializing): A plant that reseeds itself or self-pollinates, giving the effect of perennial growth even if individual plants live shorter lives.

Size

Indicates the recommended container size or soil depth for best growth.

  • “X″ Pot”: The ideal pot diameter (e.g., 5″ Pot), ensuring enough root space.
  • DS (Deep Soil): Requires planting directly in the ground or in a deep raised bed, as shallow pots restrict growth.

  • Vibrant Features: Dark green, thick-walled cylindrical fruits, measuring up to 4 inches long, perfect for a visually appealing culinary presentation.

  • Quick to Harvest: Expect to see maturity within just a few weeks of planting; peppers are best picked when lush and fully sized for best flavor.
  • Culinary Delight: Ideal for adding a refined yet spicy touch to nachos, salsas, and even gourmet homemade cranberry-jalapeno jelly.
  • Disease Resistant: Robust plants show resilience against common garden pests, ensuring a bountiful and hassle-free harvest.

Unlock the gourmet potential in your garden with our Serrano Del Sol Pepper Seeds. Known for their refined flavor and dynamic culinary range, these peppers are a must-have for both gardeners and chefs alike. Begin your planting journey indoors, about 6-8 weeks before the last frost. Sow seeds under 1/4 inch of soil, ensuring it remains damp yet breathable. Germination occurs within 10-14 days in temperatures around 72°F. Post-sprouting, maintain light exposure up to 16 hours a day. When seedlings reach about 5 inches, transfer them to larger peat pots and continue to nurture at a cooler 62°F. Fertilize weekly with a high phosphate mix and seaweed extract to promote strong roots. Transplant outdoors only when the nightly temperature is reliably warm.

Pair these peppery beauties alongside asparagus, basil, or tomatoes, but keep them clear of beans and fennel to avoid growth impediments. Harvest your peppers when they are firm and full, slicing them into your next dish for a burst of flavor. Consider using these peppers in our delectable Cranberry-Jalapeno Jelly recipe, or simply dice them into a fresh salsa to enjoy their crisp, fiery essence. Elevate your culinary experiments and garden landscape with these rewarding Serrano Del Sol peppers. Plant, nurture, and harvest your way to gourmet meals that dazzle the senses!

GROWING INSTRUCTIONS

Start Serrano Del Sol pepper seeds indoors about 6-8 weeks before the last frost date. Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep in seed-starting mix, keeping the soil moist and warm (around 72°F) for optimal germination. Ensure seedlings receive 14-16 hours of light daily.

Once seedlings are 5 inches tall, transplant them into larger containers. Harden off the plants by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions over a week. Transplant outdoors when nighttime temperatures consistently stay above 60°F, spacing them 18-24 inches apart.

Water the plants regularly to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Fertilize every two weeks with a balanced fertilizer. Harvest peppers when they are firm and fully matured, enjoying their spicy kick in a variety of culinary dishes.
