Chimayo Chile Seeds

Plants were quite bushy and full of peppers. Great flavor. Made a wonderful little Ristra with some of the later harvested peppers. Will continue to grow these yearly.

I've always wanted to grow my own chile and make ristras, I love that they are both decorative and functional! So this past summer I grew your seeds, they germinated quickly in my Aerogarden seed starter tray – and grew into robust plants with lots of pods. I planted mine in 5 gallon pots and they did very well. In the last few weeks I've picked them and strung them into a small Ristra. while my Ristra is not as big as the ones you see at the store, it's still super cute and I can't wait to use the chiles to make enchilada sauce this winter. I am going to try to grow a lot more plants next year so I can make an even bigger Ristra. :) Thank you for the excellent seeds.

I heard about these on NPR – and want to grow them in our garden – I've purchased dried/powdered Chimayo chile before but never have grown them so can't wait to have them fresh! I hope they'll grow well in our Colorado garden. Thanks for the fast shipping, we're excited to grow our own Chimayo chiles!

The Chimayo’ seeds aren’t sprouting as robustly as the green and red Hatch pepper seeds. I hope they continue to grow. Here in NW Montana, the plants won’t go outside until mid-May!

This is the perfect chile pepper with heat, but pleasant heat, not set you on fire heat! Perfect to eat fresh or dry. Pretty, prolific, and perfect!

The Chiymayo pepper might be the second best pepper in New Mexico, however it is more versatile when dried. It makes a fantastic red enchilada sauce. Add it to your tacos and red chili. You can't go wrong when you grow this remarkable pepper. I've been growing this for over 7 years now.

I'm excited to try these for chile once they dry! These are bigger and less smooth than the Chimayo I've been growing for the last few years, also a bit less hardy. I'm interested to see how the flavor compares! I've always loved my Sandia chile!

I have been growing Chimayo chilies for the past 3 years. I was turned on to this variety from a work friend after she had been in Chimayo NM on a vacation. I have been growing Chilies for the last 20 years and I am an accomplished cook. This is perhaps the best Chile I have ever tasted. Friends and family love it. Five Stars.....

This summer my Chimayo plants did very well. They were the first to produce fruit and ripened early. They have great rich flavor and will be a main component of my hot sauce this year. I will be increasing the number I plant next year.

We first grew chimayo 5 years ago, and made hot sauce and dried powder. Each year I intend to try something different but keep coming back to chimayo. It’s just the best. Plants are slow to fruit but prolific and reasonably hardy, fruit holds well under refrigeration while I eventually get around to processing it.
