Cienfuegos yellow is the perhaps the most fragrant and fruity of the series. It still has the heat, ranging from 250,000 to 350,000 scoville units. High yield potential and early maturity are the hallmark of this impressive series. 80 to 85 days.

Cienfuegos comes in two other colors: orange, the mildest of the series, and red, the hottest of the series.

An ornamental piquin-type chile with green leaves and purple fruit that ripens to yellow, orange, and then red. This variety has fruit in all four color states at the same time. Very striking and great for containers. 120 days.

Diminutive plants bloom with bouquet-type sprays followed by loads of small lime green tomatoes that ripen further to amber. 3 to 5 oz. fruit is chartreuse inside and full of juice and good, tangy flavor that is somewhat spicy. This is a wonderful variety for growing in containers since plants stay small yet provide a big harvest. If planting in the garden, put these in front as an attractive border. Very tasty and novel variety. Determinate. 58 days.

Clusters of plum shaped yellow fruit, 1-1/2 inches in diameter. Flavorful and excellent for preserves or salads. Production continues until frost. Indeterminate. 78 days.

This variety was developed by Tom Wagner from heirloom stock. He focused on making a more productive plant and creating flavor that is great for making sauces. The cream to yellow colored fruit are nearly 3 inches long and are shaped like a sausage. The determinate 3 foot bush plants don’t need to be staked. 75 days.

A jalapeno that offers a both fruity flavor, and mild to mid-level heat. Excellent productivity on 25-inch tall plants that produce 2-to-3-inch fruit ripens from green to brilliant orange. Perfect for adding color to a salsa, or for pickling, or stuffing to make popper jalapenos. Pungency increases as they mature to orange. Suitable for container gardening. 75-80 days.

Large red beefsteak tomatoes from the Black Forest region of Germany are so full of luscious flavor and juicy sweetness that it is no wonder that this seed was saved as a family heirloom. Vigorous plants are productive and bear large harvests of these 12 to 14 oz. fruit. Indeterminate. 80 days.

In parts of Asia, pink tomatoes are considered the best because they are typically sweet with low acid levels. This variety offers very smooth, unblemished pink fruit that weigh about 8 ozs. each with a delicious, mild flavor. Indeterminate. 78 days.

Originally released in 1905, this heirloom tomato has some heat tolerance and cracking resistance. The attractive red fruit weigh 5 to 10 ounces, and have that great old fashioned flavor. Plants reach 3 to 4 feet in height. Determinate 81 to 85 days.

Step the heat up a notch with the Cienfuegos Red, packing 300,000 to 400,000 scoville units. Break new ground and make a hellfire chili that only a true chilihead can appreciate. 2 x 1 inch fruit turn a brilliant red and complement the Cienfuegos series of kicking hot habaneros. And like the others, you will be impressed by the yield and early maturity. 80 to 85 days.

Cienfuegos comes in two other colors milder in heat: orange and yellow.

Reminiscent of its namesake, the crown of this plant bears clusters of brilliant red peppers arranged in a circle like the petals of a poinsettia. Thin, 3-inch long peppers point upwards atop dark green foliage, making for a very pretty plant. The fruit is edible, although very hot. Striking ornamental that would also be well suited to containers. 90 days.

Cienfuegos literally means "100 fires", but you should consider that this variety is 200,000 to 300,000 fires (scoville units); a very hot pepper. Fruit are 1½ by ¾ inches. This hybrid is earlier than open pollinated habaneros and has bigger yields. Make your favorite salsa or hot sauce using this pepper.

Cienfuegos comes in two other colors: the much hotter red and the fruitier yellow.
