Pepper (Chilli)- Serrano
This type produces dark green peppers, turning red when fully mature. It is slightly hotter than Jalapeno pepper, used in Mexican sauces and relishes.
Sow indoors from February to April, in soil 0.5 cm deep, in separate pots if possible. Pot on in late May outdoors either in containers as patio plants or in a well protected site. Peppers can be slow to germinate so allow up 35+ days. Compost should not be too moist to prevent the seeds from rotting. All chilli peppers are very sensitive to the cold.
