Serrano Tampiqueño Seeds - A Fiery Flavor Sensation

Experience the bold, distinctive heat of Serrano Tampiqueño Seeds, a standout variety known for its crisp, bright, and notably hotter flavor compared to jalapeños. Perfect for raw consumption, these small but mighty peppers pack a punch, making them a favorite in pico de gallo, salsas, and soups.

Why Choose Serrano Tampiqueño Seeds?

This heirloom, open-pollinated variety delivers superior flavor and a Scoville heat level of 15,000 - 25,000, ensuring a fiery kick in every bite. The compact 2-1/2 in. long peppers grow on productive 24 in. plants, thriving in gardens or large containers.

Easy to Grow & Harvest

Start your Serrano Tampiqueño Seeds indoors 8 weeks before warm nights. With 85°F bottom heat and bright light, germination takes 7-21 days. Transplant seedlings into rich soil or 5-gallon containers, spacing them 30 in. apart. Harvest green chiles early or wait for a vibrant red hue at full maturity.

Premium Quality Guaranteed

Each packet contains 30 heirloom seeds, carefully selected for robust growth and authentic flavor. Whether you're a seasoned gardener or a spicy food enthusiast, these seeds promise a rewarding harvest.

Gear peppers, heavy yield

These were the first seeds to germinate--I started 6 and all seeds sprouted. The two that I grew to maturity have done very well in containers and had great yields for their size. Great flavor and pretty hot. I'm definitely growing these again next year!

Epic Yield, Fantastic Flavor!

Such a terrific variety and a lot more slim and easier to handle than other varieties of Serrano (which tend to be fatter). Spicy as all heck and they mature quickly and the yield has been outstanding, so far. It's only early August. I expect another 40 to 50 peppers. I'll be using the mature, red pepper as part of a fermented hot sauce.

Hot and Awesome Flavor

I absolutely love serrano tampiqueno peppers. I have great germination, they mature fast, and are heavy producing plants. The peppers are quite hot but have wonderful flavor. I grow these peppers every year from seed from Sandia Seed Co.

These plants matured much faster than i expected.
When i picked three serranos, i made salsa out of them. I let it sit in the fridge for a few hours, i tasted it. It had a nice sweet flavor, and a nice hot flavor too.
You guys are the best seed selling company i have ever bought from!

Best Serrano Pepper Seeds!

I am growing these Serrano peppers in pots, and they are doing great. The Serrano seeds all germinated quickly with some bottom heat, and they've been taking off ever since in my large patio pots. There are tons of serrano peppers on my plants. I will be growing these every year from here on out!
