Pepper (Hot) - Fresno Chili 🔥🔥

$399 USD
Title

🛒 View cart


The Fresno Chili Pepper is a fun one to follow as it grows. The immature green fruit starts out pointing upward, and has a green, grassy flavor with mild heat. As the color changes through orange to bright red, the fruit hangs down, and the flavor changes to smoky and fruity with a bit more heat than a Jalapeño. These 3" tapered peppers are large enough to stuff, and small enough to pickle. Traditionally used to liven up ceviche, but it’s okay to grill that fish instead and make tacos topped with Fresno chili sauce. Excellent for roasting on the BBQ - or even pickling.

  • High yields
  • Smoky, fruity flavor
  • Harvest any color
  • Good for containers

    Mine took a little while
    Mine took a little while to germinate with direct indoor sowing but 90% of the seeds sprouted healthy seedlings.

    Fresno Pepper
    The fresno pepper is the best pepper you can grow, the peppers are delicious and the plants are very prolific. The seeds had a good germination rate and the price and delivery are a plus.
