Overview
Santa Fe Grande is a wax-type pepper of the Fresno group with conical, blunt-tipped fruit about 1 1/2 by 3 1/2 inches, medium-thick walls and a ripening run from yellow through orange to red. Heat is mild at the yellow stage and moderate when fully red, in the range of 500 to 1,000 Scoville units. Plants grow around 24 inches and are known for producing through heat and humidity, continuing to set fruit when other peppers stall, which has made it a favorite in the Gulf Coast. It resists tobacco mosaic virus. Start seed indoors about 8 weeks before the last frost; harvest begins around 75 days. The crisp, waxy pods are excellent pickled.
