Mirasol New Mexico Chile Seeds
Mirasol New Mexico Chile Seeds
Mirasol Chile - The medium heat in this pepper is direct and intense, yet very flavorful. This red to dark red pepper has thin skin and can vary greatly in appearance. Conical pods grow upright 4”- 5“ long and 1/2” to almost 2“ wide on 18”-24“ tall plants. It has a unique spicy flavor that is compared to berries and other fruit. The name Mirasol means "looking at the sun" in Spanish, which describes the way these peppers grow on the plant. They are one of the main chiles used in traditional mole sauces and very common in Peruvian cooking.

Provide 85°F bottom heat, bright light and keep moist at all times. Seeds will germinate in 7 - 21 days. Transplant seedlings into pots and grow until there are 6 true leaves on the plant. Plant them directly into rich soil, 30” apart or into large 5-gallon containers.

Big beautiful plant and loaded with sweet peppers. Used them in place of bell peppers and they were fantastic. They will be a repeat performer in my garden.
I love the erect habit of these pretty pepper plants! The seeds nearly all germinated (with the help of a seed mat), and their flavor is spicy with a little fruitiness. Delicious!
We loved having these good-looking Mirasol chilli plants in our garden. The peppers face up so they're quite ornamental too. They had a ton of chillies on them and they were delicious! Great germination, too.
