Spice up your garden and kitchen with Aji Colorado Seeds, an heirloom Capsicum baccatum variety that delivers a stunning display of color and a perfect balance of heat and sweetness. These fast-growing plants produce an abundance of 3-5” pendant-shaped pods that mature from green to a brilliant orangish-red, making them as ornamental as they are delicious.
Exceptional Flavor & Heat: With a Scoville rating of 20,000-30,000, these peppers pack a very hot punch that dissipates quickly, leaving behind a sweet, fruity flavor. Their thin walls make them ideal for drying or using fresh in sauces, salsas, and traditional Peruvian dishes like the famous aji colorado sauce.
Prolific & Ornamental: Standing 24-30” tall, these plants are loaded with beautiful flowers and a heavy crop of vibrant peppers. A true garden standout that may require staking due to its bountiful yield.
Easy to Cultivate: Start your Aji Colorado Seeds indoors 8 weeks before the last frost. Plant in sterile media, cover 1/4” deep, and provide 85°F bottom heat and bright light. Seeds typically germinate in 14-28 days. Transplant seedlings once they develop 6 true leaves, spacing them 30” apart in rich soil or large 5-gallon containers.
Harvest & Enjoy: Pick your peppers when they turn a vibrant red. Whether dried, fresh, or turned into sauce, their aromatic flavor will elevate any dish.
GMO-Free Guarantee: All our seeds are non-GMO, ensuring you grow natural, healthy peppers.

Quintessence of pepper flavor. Productive plant. Definitely will grow again.
I had looked high & low, and searched the web with many word combinations ‘looking’ specifically for my favorite chili, the Dynamite xx Hot… so I could grow my own. The peppers were sold in Colorado at select places during roasting season, but you couldn’t buy seeds for them… anywhere!
Finally, as luck and persistence would have it, I discovered Sandia Seed Company.
Thank you Sandia! I planted them and had a great crop this year. I plan on growing them every year as well as trying some of their other seeds,
There's just something fun about growing a jalapeno that is light enough in color that some people think it's a banana pepper. LOL! I picked these just for color variety, and I'm very pleased that my plants have been loaded with them all season! We donated about 50 lbs of mixed peppers this year from our garden and I still had enough to freeze some and can more jars of recipes than we'll probably be able to use before next season. All my peppers were from Sandia Seed Company. I've never had such great pepper production before using these seeds!!
Excellent peppers, large and meaty. Easy to grow from your seeds.
This spinach germinated well, and produced way more spinach than I'd initially expected. It grew really well, was slow to bolt in the summer, and has a really nice mild flavor for salads or steamed.
Love this Hatch variety chili, next best thing to living in New Mexico! Yep, they grow in Oklahoma too!
This was my first time growing these and I will definitely be growing them from now on. Great germination and very sturdy plants that have withstood some really high winds. Huge long peppers that are excellent green or red, very easy to peel skin.
Growing these in Florida, (Recent transplant of NM).
Lovely peppers. Took a couple weeks is all and wow! I have several budding; 2 large enough to nickname. They're still in their infancy, but I can tell they are going to be great! Love the seeds!
Prudens purple was huge, productive, and delicious. Very crack resistant. Amazing!
I got these to make Chipotle chilis. These fruit early and are mild-ish when green, but when they ripen, they are perfect for smoking and drying with great flavor and nice heat. Don't plant too many as they are quite prolific.
I grow chilis for seed from Sandia in Wichita Kansas. They take longer for harvesting but make great roasting Chilis. I call them WichiHatch Chilis.
Seeds were amazing with great germination rates. Very stable strain that had little to no variation between plants! Will be running them again!
Just as described. Wonderful Habanero flavor without the heat. This makes the best Chili and we love the flavor.
Seeds grew quickly and in May I transplanted them into my garden. Kept three plants to a container and the did great in the garden without falling over. Great harvest.
I had 6 plants that produced all of the tomatillos that I could use. I gave my neighbors enough for a batch of green salsa too. Easy to germinate and great producers. We live in a short growing season in the mountains of Idaho and they did great!
