Heritage NuMex 6-4 - Mild Green Chile Seeds

Experience the rich, authentic flavor of New Mexico with our Heritage NuMex 6-4 Green Chile Seeds. This improved variety delivers the perfect balance of mild heat and exceptional taste, making it a must-have for any home gardener or culinary enthusiast. Originally sourced from a 1957 seed bank, these seeds have been carefully reselected to ensure superior flavor, higher yields, and more uniform heat—everything you love about traditional New Mexico green chiles, but better!

Why Choose Heritage NuMex 6-4?

Grown from the renowned NuMex line by New Mexico State University, these chiles boast thick, flavorful flesh and grow to a generous 6" in length. The productive 30" plants thrive in both gardens and large containers, making them versatile for any growing space. With a Mild Scoville rating of 1000, they’re perfect for those who enjoy a gentle kick without overwhelming spice.

Easy to Grow & Highly Productive

Each packet contains 30 heirloom seeds from New Mexico, ready to bring your garden to life. For best results, start seeds indoors 8 weeks before warm nights arrive. Plant them in sterile media, cover lightly, and provide 85°F bottom heat with bright light. Keep the soil moist, and watch as your seeds sprout in 7-21 days. Once seedlings develop 6 true leaves, transplant them into rich soil or 5-gallon containers, spacing them 30" apart.

Harvest & Enjoy

Pick your chiles while they’re vibrant green for that classic New Mexico flavor, or leave them on the plant a bit longer to ripen into a deep, rich red. Whether you roast, stuff, or blend them into sauces, these chiles will elevate your dishes with their unmatched taste.

Excellent flavor

Grew here in NW Washington. Started in home then they had a late planting outside as I took a bad fall breaking my hip. Even though they finally took off in a wine barrel giving me enough to roast, chop and freeze for winter meals

Waiting for the peppers to germinate. Raised bed is ready ..!

Mamas Green Chiles

My mama grew some mild green chiles from Sandia Seeds last year and they were so good I just ordered all of my seeds from them for next years garden!

Shipping was fast, free and I was able to track it every step of the way with the shop app! So easy to use, and a genuinely great experience that I just ordered more!

I will write another review this time next year with all of my veggies displayed!

Favorite Pepper of the Season

I absolutely loved growing and eating this pepper from seed to plate. Germinated well. Grew well in a container in Zone 6a. Prolific producer. Roasted well in an air fryer and tasted 10/10.

Delicious chile

Love growing these in our garden, nice sized chile with good flavor.

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.

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!
