Grow Your Own Fiery Chile de Arbol Seeds

Bring the bold heat and smoky depth of authentic Mexican cuisine to your garden with Chile de Arbol Seeds. These fiery peppers are a staple in Mexican kitchens, prized for their intense spice and versatile uses from salsas and sauces to decorative wreaths. With a Scoville rating of 15,000–30,000, they pack a punch that will delight heat seekers.

Why Choose Chile de Arbol Seeds?

Originating in Chihuahua, Mexico, these heirloom peppers are as ornamental as they are flavorful. Their slender, pendant-shaped fruits mature from light green to a vibrant dark red, making them a stunning addition to any garden. Each plant grows vigorously, reaching over 4 feet tall, resembling a small tree laden with fiery treasures.

Versatile Culinary Uses

Whether you dry them for decorations, grind them into spice rubs, or puree them into zesty sauces, Chile de Arbol peppers elevate every dish. Toast whole pods to infuse oils with smoky heat or add them to vinegar for a bold kick. Their versatility makes them a must-have for home cooks and chefs alike.

Easy to Grow & GMO-Free

Each packet contains 10 premium, non-GMO seeds. Start indoors 8 weeks before the last frost, ensuring warm soil (85°F) and bright light for optimal germination. Transplant seedlings into rich soil or large containers, spacing them 30" apart. In just 90 days, you’ll harvest vibrant red peppers ready to spice up your meals.

Favorite Pepper

Loved growing my own chili Arbol peppers, great germination and high production zone 7

chili de arbol

The plants are growing and thriving . We are waiting for the peppers to grow.

Great service with good quality seeds. Highly reccomended.

Delicious

These have such great flavor and are easy to grow in Colorado. The plant was bushy with lots of chiles, and they dried easily (even right on the plant) so now I have a jar of them in the cabinet for use year round in salsas, burritos, tacos, stews, you name it. Thanks for the fast shipping of the seeds earlier this spring, they germinated quickly and grew into robust plants.

Great for Salsa

I make Chile de Arbol Salsa for my family and friends - everyone loves the smoky flavor and heat. The pods dry quickly for easy storage, so I also add them to dishes all winter. Your seeds always have good germination and the plants grew healthy and provided a lot of pods. These are a standard in our salsa garden!

Tasty and prolific

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.

Hatch Red Medium - Joe E. Parker Chile Seeds - Popular Heirloom with Great Flavor

Awesome peppers!

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.

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!

Jalapeno to Chipotle

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.

Tomatillos galore!

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!

Spunky chile plants

We live in North Central Idaho in the mountains. Our seeds all terminated and I had a very good crop of green chile considering where we live. They are thick meated and have great flavor and just the right heat.

I really loved these tomatoes. They had the most delicious tomatoes flavor.

These Abe Lincoln tomatoes have the most delicious tomato flavor. Reminds me of the delicious tomatoes that my father grew when I was a child. We ate them straight out of the garden while they were still warm from the sun.

Easy to grow, great for pesto and caprese salads

I grow your basil seeds every year, they are easy to start from seed and grow into nice bushy plants that we harvest all summer long to use to make caprese salads (when the tomatoes start to ripen), as well as pesto. I like to make a big batch of pesto, then freeze "pucks" of it in a muffin tray to store in a container in the freezer for some summer flavors all winter long. These seeds always have great germination. I also like to let a couple of basil plants bloom as the pollinators love the blooms and they are pretty, too!

What a great way to grow corn, beans and squash!

I love everything about growing a three sisters garden, everything helps each other out... and it looks so pretty, too! I started my corn first, then planted the beans and then the squash and they all did so well together. My neighbors asked me what I did to get them to grow so well, so I told them about the three sisters technique and they're going to try it next season! My corn already is starting to put on cobs, and the beans are twirling up the stalks and the squash looks so happy at the base. Thanks for this seed packet bundle, it really is a game changer!
