Grow Fiery Flavor with Hatch X Hot Barker's Chile Seeds

Bring the legendary heat and bold taste of New Mexico to your garden with Hatch X Hot Barker's Chile Seeds. These heirloom chiles deliver an intense Scoville rating of 9,000-10,000, perfect for those who crave authentic Southwestern spiciness. Whether roasted for green enchilada sauce or enjoyed fresh, these 5" pods pack a punch that elevates any dish.

Why Choose Hatch X Hot Barker's Chile?

This open-pollinated variety thrives in hot, dry conditions, developing its maximum heat when stressed by high temperatures (above 95°F) and limited water. The 30" tall plants produce abundantly, yielding chiles that turn from vibrant green to deep red at full maturity. Unlike store-bought alternatives, homegrown chiles offer unparalleled freshness and flavor intensity.

Key Features:

  • X-Hot Heat Level: 9,000-10,000 Scoville units
  • Authentic Flavor: Traditional Hatch chile taste profile
  • Heat Adaptability: Grows hotter in stressful conditions
  • Versatile Use: Ideal for roasting, sauces, and salsas
  • GMO-Free: 100% natural heirloom seeds

Each packet contains 30 seeds.

Growing Tips for Maximum Heat

For best results, start seeds indoors 8 weeks before transplanting. Maintain 85°F soil temperature and bright light during germination (7-21 days). Space plants 30" apart in rich soil or 5-gallon containers. Harvest green chiles early or wait for red maturity. Remember: less water equals hotter chiles!

Very thick skinned, quality pepper. I have a little section of my freezer dedicated to Hatch for green chili in the winter. Nice surprising heat that is almost overpowering and then quickly dissipates which is nice 😊 plants were huge this year

A real favorite

I grow multiple NM peppers, these stand out every year. Plants get loaded early season and will produce thru the fall in Central Texas. Great heat and if you can manage to not eat them first, they dry well an make a great sauce or powder. Germination rates are 95% plus every year. First seeds I add to my order every year.

Best of two worlds

I purchased a packet of Barkers X Hot seeds to grow over winter under lights to see what I want to get serious with now... vigorous growers, I just transplanted one into a 5 gal pot and had to trim some not quite mature peppers that would have been partly in soil otherwise so stuffed them with pepper jack cheese and broiled them- EXCELLENT! Jalapeno hot but with the New Mex flavor we all love. Definitely starting more of these this week. I rate these A++
