This new Sandia variety has superior flavor, uniform high heat level, better plant and pod uniformity, higher yield and a thick fruit wall. This fantastic New Mexico green chile was developed from the original heirloom Sandia Hot using natural plant selection techniques. However this NuMex Sandia Select comes with a little more heat than the original, and that's the way we like it. The dark green pods are 8" long and grow on productive 35” tall plants. 

This large thick fleshed green chile is hot and has great flavor. Its thick walls make it great for chopped green chile to use on cheeseburgers, eggs, potatoes and almost everything you eat! Or keep the pods in one piece and stuff and fry for spicy chile rellenos. It's easy, just roast, peel, stuff with cheese or a meat mixture, batter and deep fry. As always all our seeds are Non-GMO.

Capsicum annuum (75 days) Open Pollinated

Heat Level: Hot  Scoville: 8,000-9,000

~ 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 - 21 days. Transplant seedlings into pots and grow until there are 6 true leaves on the plant. Plant them directly into rich soil, 35” apart or into large 5-gallon containers. 


All of our seeds are GMO-free.

Good Value for seeds

Not sure how the shipping costs were so high as it took over a week to receive the envelope. Shop around there are better deals.

Great Seeds, Insane Plants

Every seed germinated beautifully and the plants grew large with massive production. No diseases at all or blossom end rot, the plants exploded with growth and an insane amount of chiles. The chiles had amazing flavor green or red and with perfect spice (9500 SHU) will definitely grow again!

Superior Flavor

I’ve been growing Hatch Chiles here in central Washington for the better part of a decade. Two years ago I started growing the Sandia select and never looked back. I grow way more Chiles each year than I can eat , so I give them to family, friends, and coworkers. Every single one of them have told me these taste better than any Chile I’ve grown.

I start them inside in 1gal plastic grow bags around mid February, after that they are kept in a grow tent and go in the ground after Mother’s Day. I get two harvests a year depending on weather. We had a warm October this year so the fall harvest was rather large. Don’t waste your time with the other types. Get the Sandia select

Great taste and thicker walls

Had some of these Numex Sandia Select seeds left over from 2018 and planted the seed anyway 2022. Good germination rate and threw a couple of the plants in an experimental 20gal Grow Bag by the back door. Had to walk by it going into the house every evening so would grab the peppers to add to everything for supper. This quickly became my favorite because of the little bit thicker walls. Blistered the outer skin off and put them on burgers, in mashed potatoes, on sandwiches, in soups, in casseroles, on pizza and ate them fresh in salads. Big Jim now prefers Select over namesake. Try them.

Productive and excellent taste

These productive plants grow chilis almost as large as Big Jim with an outstanding taste - grown just north of Denver. Good size for easy roasting and peeling. The peppers were much milder than expected based on the 8-9,000 scovilles, possibly due to the local climate or large chili pods, which may water down the capsaicin. First harvest was in August and had medium to mild heat. I tried to stress the second harvest in October with no observed increase. I'll try a hotter variety next year. No worries - these still have that perfect NM chili taste. We're blending with some hotter chili and it comes out perfect.
