About This

• A serrano pepper, Pathfinder is grown as a fruit vegetable. The plant sets small, star-shaped "perfect" flowers, followed by cylindrical to blunt dark green fruits, averaging 4½ to 5 inches in length and 1 ounce in weight.
• The fruits have thick walls and an excellent shelf life. These chili peppers are hot, rating 10,000 to 25,000 units on the Scoville scale. Similar to jalapeno, serrano peppers have a delicious spicy kick, but hotter, perfect for salsas, sauces, relishes, garnishes, and hot sauces. Hot peppers are a good source of vitamin C.
• An herbaceous, frost-tender, short-lived evergreen perennial, typically grown as an annual, Pathfinder Serrano Pepper is a member of the nightshade family (Solanaceae). The plant grows rapidly, forming a medium-sized plant with excellent foliage cover, and produces heavy yields all season.
• Pathfinder is easy to grow from seed, growing best in locations with full sun and fertile, organically rich, moist, well-draining soil, but it is adaptable to a wide range of soils. The plant is a low maintenance but pinching back young plants encourages bushiness.
• A warm-season vegetable, sensitive to cold temperatures and frost, serrano pepper seeds can be direct sown into warm spring soil after all threat of frost has passed. For an earlier harvest, seeds can be started indoors 6 to 8 weeks before transplanting.
