Giadone chile peppers are the most delicious peppers you can find north of the NM state line. This Mirasol chile from Pueblo, Colorado is very meaty with a sweet flavor and hot heat. Its Scoville rating is known to reach 10,000 SHU.
History: A single pepper plant with more heat was selected from a crop of peppers grown from the bag of Pueblo mirasol seeds given to Dr. Michael Bartolo from his father. The seeds were from his late uncle, Harry Mosco, an Italian farmer that had farmed the east Pueblo area for decades. Read the story about the Mosco chile and the Giadone chile here: coloradocountrylife.coop
The Pueblo ‘Giadone’ has a different flavor from the Hatch chile. It tends to have thicker walls, which make it very easy to roast, and more heat.
Pods grow to 6-7" long with thick flesh and red color. They have a very distinctive sweet flavor with a lot of heat for adding to your usual favorite dishes. Plants are very productive and grow well in high elevation, short seasons or dry climates. Capsicum annuum (75 days)
Heat Level: Hot Scoville 10,000
~ Packet contains 10 seeds.
Also be sure to grow the Giadone Chile's sister, the Mosco Chile, which has similar delicious flavor and thick flesh but is a little less hot at 5,000 Scovilles.
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 - 10 days. Transplant seedlings into pots and grow until there are 6 true leaves on the plant. Plant them directly into rich soil, 30” apart. Harvest peppers when they are green or wait a few more weeks until they are red for great flavor.
All of our seeds are GMO-free.
Customer Reviews
I have been growing these peppers for 4 years now and I love the quality and reliability of the seeds. I rarely have any germination issues and the plants are strong! We have a long growing season in NorCal; I just harvested the last of the peppers yesterday. The biggest issues that you’ll experience if you grow 50 Pueblo chile plants like me is an efficient way to roast and enough freezer space. I get so many chile every year that this year I bought a small chile roaster!
Great experience. Fast and accurate.
Grew these from seed we had a cool wet spring which they seem to like the plant grew to about a foot and a half tall and had maybe seven to eight very large Peppers that ripened mid-september were awesome for grilling used to make hot
fresh salsa along with Reapers and devil tongues 100% germination perfect

I grow several green chilies every year and this one has to be my favorite it's got good Heat thick walls and I find it's one of the best roasting Peppers there is I live here in Ohio and I pick peppers from this plant all the way up till the first Frost
Impressive flavor and meatiness. Hot, sweet, roasts well.
We grew these for the first time in the front range of Colorado and they did exceptionally well. The plants were larger and produced more chile than the New Mexican varieties. These seem to be a little happier overall in our climate. I'll be growing these every year! Thick flesh, and nice and hot, too.
Thanks for offering these, I've bought some at farmers' stands over the years, but I'm so excited to grow my own! Of course, I'll still buy them, too during chile harvest season and freeze them, as you can NEVER HAVE TOO MUCH PUEBLO CHILE!
Thanks for offering these seeds!
