Hatch Green Mild - NM 6-4 has always been the standard for open-pollinated mild green chile. It is such a wonderful variety that it remains very similar to its improved cousin NuMex Heritage 6-4. Pods are 6" long with thick fleshy walls and grow on 30” plants. A large amount of Hatch Green Mild can be added to recipes for delicious and traditional flavor and aroma with mild heat and not the burn of hotter varieties. The most popular green chile to grow because of its mild heat content and it matures early and grows well in short seasons. Capsicum annuum (70 days) Heirloom - Open-Pollinated - Untreated
Heat Level: Mild Scoville: 1,000
~ Packet contains 30 seeds.
In early spring, start seeds indoors 8 weeks before warm nightly temperatures. Place the seeds in sterile media and cover 1/4” deep. Provide 85°F bottom heat, and bright light, and always keep moist. 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.
All of our seeds are GMO-free.
I've grown these peppers going on 4 seasons now and we love, love, love this pepper. He likes hot. I like mild...The Hatch Mild Green is perfect!
These Chili's are small but flavorful. They produce a lot on each plant. They're very mild but still have the peppery flavor. I highly recommend them!
This was our first year growing Hatch Green Chile and we fell in love! We started the seeds indoors with 100% germination and transplanted healthy plants outdoors in May. The plants grew tall and sturdy, were productive with lots of green chiles, and easily survived our humid, 100+ degree weather. The chiles were thick skinned which made roasting and peeling a breeze! The Hatch chile is one of a kind, there is nothing like it. We had so many Hatch peppers that we shared with family and friends. We tried lots of new recipes including Hatch Salsa, Hatch Chile Sauce, Hatch Chili Relleno Casserole, Hatch Enchiladas, and Stuffed Hatch Chiles. We froze some and are now able to enjoy Hatch Chiles in December! You have to try Hatch Green Chiles!!
The hatch mild green chili is one of a kind. So delicious. The seeds have just started germinating to be put out this spring. Very excited to have them. Very excited to see what it's like in my own soil as well.
My chile garden was awesome this year, these seeds were super easy to start, and grew quickly into productive plants with nice fat chile pods. They were great for roasting as they have thick flesh and skin that peels off easily after blistering them. Just made a batch of green chile stew this weekend to enjoy!

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
I was looking for a spicier New Mexico red chile and this was awesome! It is a beautiful looking pepper and the taste is superb.
Very productive plants even up here in New England!
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 Hatch Chiles are flavorful with a good amount of heat! Each plant produced a good amount of peppers! I will be growing these again!
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.
These are definitely ornamental, they add a nice touch of color to your garden.. and they are spicy too!
Grew the purple jalapenos last summer. Slow to get going, but ended up with a nice compact bush in a pot. I am trying to overwinter them by bringing the.pot inside for the winter. It is still growing, small purple peppers about 1" long.
These germinated and grew beautifully, was happy to use them to create the delicious green chile of my home but in a new country!
