with a warm, tangy medium heat (about 500–5,000 Scoville), perfect for salsas and pickling. Who it's for Great for gardeners who want an early, abundant medium-hot chile with a mellow, tangy flavor for fresh and pickled use. 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 75–80 days from transplant. Pick yellow for milder, tangier flavor or let them ripen orange-red for more heat and sweetness. Harvest regularly to keep the compact plants producing. Benefits & uses Santa Fe Grande peppers are excellent in fresh salsas, pickled in jars, and roasted for sauces.
