Grow Your Own Spicy Fresno Peppers with Premium Fresno Pepper Seeds

Bring the vibrant heat of California to your garden with our Fresno Pepper Seeds. These bright red, conical-shaped peppers grow upright on highly productive plants, delivering a medium heat level (5,000 Scoville) perfect for adding a kick to your favorite dishes. Developed in 1952 and named after Fresno, California, these heirloom peppers are a must-have for any home gardener.

Why Choose Our Fresno Pepper Seeds?

Productive & Flavorful: Each packet contains 10 GMO-free seeds, yielding peppers that are 2" long and 1" wide. The longer they stay on the plant, the spicier they become!

Versatile in the Kitchen: Often confused with jalapeños, Fresno peppers have thinner walls and a slightly milder heat. Use them fresh, roasted, or pickled—they’re perfect for salsas, sauces, and our Pickled Fresno Peppers recipe!

Easy to Grow: Ideal for warm climates, these peppers thrive in the San Joaquin Valley and beyond. Start seeds indoors 8 weeks before the last frost, and transplant once seedlings have 6 true leaves. Space plants 30" apart or grow in 5-gallon containers.

Growing Tips for Success

  • Germination: Plant seeds 1/4" deep in sterile soil, keep moist, and provide 85°F bottom heat. Seeds sprout in 7–21 days.
  • Harvest: Pick peppers when they’re glossy red and full-sized for the best flavor and heat.
  • Heat Level: Medium (5,000 Scoville)-great for those who love a balanced spice.
