The perfect choice for people who love the green chile flavor but don't care for the heat. The mildest Hatch chile you can grow. Produces big green chiles with pods ranging in size from 8- 12” long. They grow on extra heavy yielding 30-36” tall plants. This new mild chile was developed by Solar Dry Farms and named after Joseph Franzoy, the great-grandfather of owner Faron Lytle. His great-grandfather Joseph “Giuzeppi” Franzoy was one of the first farmers to grow chiles in the Hatch Valley.
Capsicum annuum (75 days)
Heat Level: Mild Scoville: 1,000-1,500
~ Packet contains 30 seeds.
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 7-14 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.
When I grew these peppers, two of them, I started them late. It already was warming up. Took a little time to get established but when they did I was rewarded with a lot of peppers. Made some good sauce from these peppers. Seemed to take the heat and even later, the cooler weather well. Still surviving in zone 9b. I might see if I can save it and put it in a pot in the Spring.
Love the flavor of roasted Hatch Chilis. Decided to grow my own. The seeds I got from Sandia germinated easily and grew beautifully. Live having fresh Hatch in the backyard
I don't have much to review the seeds arrived I've got sprouts we'll see how they do add fruit
Looking forward to planting this summer
I can't take too much heat but I LOVE the flavor of green chile, so these are perfect! They made a very tasty green chile stew.

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.
These are so beautiful, tasty, and meaty. They make a great pico-de-gallo!
These were so big, one tomato can make a nice big bowl of salsa. They do have amazing flavor and color.
These were so tasty and very productive. Great for salsa.
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.
