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.

GREATEST SERRANO SEEDS EVER!!!

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!

Awesome

Great germination, productive plants.

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!

Buck Dharma approved!

So, as a life long BOC fan and an avid gardener who loves the quality of seeds I’ve always received from Sandia Seeds. I just had to have this shirt. It rocks! I ordered a couple more for some fellow BOC fans as well. Great quality and the graphic is outstanding!

Jalapeño M

I pretty much use Sandia seeds exclusively! A few years ago I just happened to order your Jalapeño M. To me it's the perfect Jalapeño! Really nice size! Perfect heat for what we like! Wonderful flavor with a meatyness that's perfect for many different uses! I make my own Sriracha so I wait for them to turn red. They're one of my base peppers for my sauce! I praise them to all my personal friends and to members of groups that I belong to!

Española Improved NuMex Chile Seeds - Robust Flavor and Early Maturity

Dynamite xx Hot peppers, 4 heat lovers only!

I had looked high & low, and searched the web with many word combinations ‘looking’ specifically for my favorite chili, the Dynamite xx Hot… so I could grow my own. The peppers were sold in Colorado at select places during roasting season, but you couldn’t buy seeds for them… anywhere!
Finally, as luck and persistence would have it, I discovered Sandia Seed Company.
Thank you Sandia! I planted them and had a great crop this year. I plan on growing them every year as well as trying some of their other seeds,

Dynamite Green Chile Seeds - Extra Hot Variety at 12,000 Scoville

Prolific Peppers!

There's just something fun about growing a jalapeno that is light enough in color that some people think it's a banana pepper. LOL! I picked these just for color variety, and I'm very pleased that my plants have been loaded with them all season! We donated about 50 lbs of mixed peppers this year from our garden and I still had enough to freeze some and can more jars of recipes than we'll probably be able to use before next season. All my peppers were from Sandia Seed Company. I've never had such great pepper production before using these seeds!!

Tasty and prolific

This spinach germinated well, and produced way more spinach than I'd initially expected. It grew really well, was slow to bolt in the summer, and has a really nice mild flavor for salads or steamed.

Awesome peppers!

This was my first time growing these and I will definitely be growing them from now on. Great germination and very sturdy plants that have withstood some really high winds. Huge long peppers that are excellent green or red, very easy to peel skin.
