About This

Adjustable Heat from 5,000–10,000 Scovilles: Fresno chili peppers allow you to tailor heat to your preference—pick green for mild flavor, red for maximum heat, or orange for a perfect balance. Great for households that enjoy variety in spice levels.
Glossy 2-Inch Peppers with Complex Flavor: These smooth, tapered peppers grow about 2 inches long and 1 inch wide. Known for their bright appearance and rich flavor, Fresno chilies develop a subtle smokiness when cooked, adding depth to any dish.
Ideal for Fresh Eating and Cooking: Perfect for stuffing, pickling, sautéing, canning, and frying. Fresno peppers are not intended for drying but excel in recipes that call for vibrant, fresh heat and color.
Compact, High-Yielding Plants: Plants grow 24 to 30 inches tall, with strong branching and heavy fruit production. This makes Fresno a reliable producer for gardeners looking to maximize yields in limited space.
Low-Water, Easy-Care Variety: Fresno chili plants require less water than many other peppers once established, making them a smart choice for drought-tolerant gardening. Suitable for full sun, they thrive in warm spring gardens with minimal effort.
