pods that ripen from green to red. It's the go-to fresh chile for authentic salsas and pico de gallo. Who it's for Perfect for salsa makers and cooks who love clean, punchy heat and want a heavy-bearing chile that fruits all season. How & when to plant Start indoors 8–10 weeks before your last frost. Sow 1/4 inch deep in warm soil at 75–85°F; germination takes 10–21 days. Transplant after nights stay above 55°F, spacing plants 18–24 inches apart in full sun. Grow as an annual; best in USDA zones 4–11 with a warm season. Harvest Pods mature in about 75–85 days from transplant. Pick green for bright, sharp heat or let them ripen red for a slightly sweeter, hotter flavor. Cut pods with scissors and harvest often to keep plants productive. Benefits & uses Serranos are the classic chile for fresh salsa, pico de gallo, guacamole, and hot sauces. Because they're used unpeeled and raw, their thin walls and vivid heat shine in uncooked dishes. Growing guide: New to this variety?
