- Sun Preference
- Full-Sun
Description
Santa Fe Grande is a mildly hot pepper with conical, blunt tipped, 1 ½” wide by 3 ½” long fruits. Peppers have medium-thick walls and ripen from yellow to orange to red. Sturdy 2′ plants provide continuous yields. Great for pickling, canning and salsa. Scoville Heat Units: 500-700.
Unless you live in a year-round warm climate, start seeds indoors eight to ten weeks before last frost. Keep soil temperature warm (75-80°F) for best germination. Harden off young plants ten days before transplanting and plant outdoors in late spring. Pick when peppers turn yellow or leave them on the plant to ripen to orange or red.
