Why Grow Santa Fe Grande Peppers?

Triple-Color Spectacle: Enjoy a living rainbow in your garden as peppers mature from bright green to sunny yellow, then fiery orange, and finally a glossy red-all at the same time!

Perfect Medium Heat: With a Scoville rating of 3,000-5,000, these 3" peppers offer just the right kick for salsas, pickling, and fresh eating. Their thick flesh holds up beautifully in recipes.

Prolific Producer: Compact 30" plants bear fruit continuously all summer long, making them ideal for gardens or large containers (5-gallon minimum).
