Rattlesnake green chile is the new and very spicy variety joining the Hatch Green Chile compadres this growing season. The Rattlesnake chile was developed to be very hot and very delicious. Pods can be 4" - 8" long with thick flesh and plants grow to 30" tall. If Hatch Green Lumbre X-Hot is not hot enough for you, then try this perfect pepper. Its Scoville is reported to reach up to 18,000 SHU, but more often it is much lower near the 10,000 SHU rating. The Hatch Green Rattlesnake has a more flavorful heat that is more appetizing and similar to the Hatch Green X-Hot Barker's Hot flavor. Easy to grow. Grown near Hatch, NM and sold as Rattlesnake X-Hot Capsicum annuum (80 days) Heirloom - Open-Pollinated
Heat Level: X Hot Scoville: 10,000 - 18,000
~ 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.
*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.
All of our seeds are GMO-free.
Customer Reviews
If you’re looking for a pepper that is almost too spicy to take a second bite out of, then this is a winner! Flavor is delicious the seeds germinate quickly, and I had peppers earlier than I expected. Definitely 5 stars.
I bought these seeds last year not knowing what to expect! Sandia Seeds always sends useful information and all seeds have been true to what they advertise! I love green chiles and I love spice so I figured these were going to be a hit, and they did not dissapoint! I grew them in a variety of container sizes and all did well, this year I will experiment with bigger containers and beds! Great tasting chile with a bit of a bite!
I always love your seeds. will be getting them into the dirt this weekend. Has been too cold here to start them yet.
I have had good succes growing my seeds every year and good harvests here in Illinois
This is the 3rd year for growing chile seeds in West Virginia and the only plant I can find that keeps its heat, is the Rattlesnake. I have tried the medium and it is mild and the hot is medium here in the WV soil. Being born and raised in NM, I can't live without my chile! Only thing I can not grow here is the red chile. For some reason, it will not turn red here. I'm going to try to get the seeds started extra early this year and see if that makes a difference.
