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.

Ready to cultivate your own fiery harvest? Plant Chile de Arbol Seeds today and enjoy authentic Mexican heat straight from your garden!

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!

Española Improved NuMex Chile Seeds - Robust Flavor and Early Maturity

Dynamite xx Hot peppers, 4 heat lovers only!

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,

Dynamite Green Chile Seeds - Extra Hot Variety at 12,000 Scoville

Prolific Peppers!

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!!

Big Jim Legacy Pepper Seeds - Flavor & Heat - A True New Mexico Chile

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.

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.

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.
