Hatch Green Chile X Hot • Barker's Hot • 1 oz of Seeds
An extra-hot New Mexico green chile with great flavor! They grow to 5" - 7" in length, and can be used just as you would use any Hatch green chile, but with an extra punch. This variety grows well in very hot, dry climates. A very dependable early producer. Capsicumannuum (75 days)
In early spring, start seeds indoors 8 weeks prior to warm nightly temperatures. Place the seeds in sterile media and cover 1/4” deep. 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. Harvest chiles when they are green. If left on the plant a couple more weeks, the chiles will turn red at full maturity.
*Technically, to call any of these chiles "Hatch Chiles," they must be grown in the Hatch region of New Mexico. But we still think they taste great when grown all over the world, plus fresh homegrown chile is always extra-delicious and it's often hard to get New Mexican chile around the world! So this is way you can grow a little bit of New Mexico in your garden, no matter where you live.
Excellent, seamless transaction with Sandia Seed. Seeds arrived within 4-5 days. Excellent germination rate. Started them indoors around 10 April. They went in the ground around 15 May. I was able to start harvesting around 15-20 August. As of 29 August, I've home roasted about 2-1/2 bushels with maybe another bushel to harvest. Nice heat and great flavor. Some plants are 36" tall! Highly recommend giving Sandia and this chile a try if you like a good, reliable, hotter-than-average New Mexico pepper.

Great seeds, good germination, plants grow quickly and produce lots of pods for roasting. Great flavor and just the right amount of spice. We grow these every year in our garden in Utah.
I tried these purple Cherokee seeds on 2024. This is the first time growing these purple Cherokees and were amazed at the ease of germination and taste
These germinated in two days. I started them in midsummer and they fruited by late fall in my zone 10b garden and are overwintering just fine. I’ll have more to harvest by late spring. I made my red sauce for pozole for Christmas with my harvest!
Big Chiles with just enough heat to add to green enchilada's. The flavor after roasting is fantastic. Since green chile roasting is not a local thing in Eastern Washington we us a weed burner. The smell of roasting peppers is heavenly.
My favorite green chili to grow. Plenty of heat and after roasting sit perfectly on a hamburger. Also my wonderful wife makes Puelo Chili jam that is a real crowd pleaser
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.
These plants were super healthy all season long and produced a LOT of fruit. They'll add heat and color to any dish. They made my cowboy candy and pickled jalapeños extra special!
Very good germination rate and super abundant and delicious peppers!. I had them in 10g and 5g fabric pots and they very well the last two years. Amazing to smoke and dry / freeze to have throughout the year! I just made a spicy brown porter mustard with scotch bonnets! Also made an amazing roasted scotch bonnet hot sauce! yum!
These grow large. We roast them and peel them and make green chile from them. My husband adores them.
Made Chili Mac for my Step son and he ate it all in one sitting.
I plant 10 plants every year.
