Pequin peppers are prized for making salsas, hot sauces, and infused oils, as well as for drying into flavorful chili flakes. Compact and prolific, the plants produce an abundance of tiny, bright red fruits that add ornamental beauty as well as culinary excitement. Easy to grow in pots or garden beds, Pequin peppers thrive in warm climates and reward you with a steady harvest of heat all season long.
