Hatch Red Medium - Joe E. Parker - A large delicious medium hot green chile with thick flesh and distinctive New Mexico flavor. Great for making chile rellenos. This particular chile was selected by Joe E. Parker from a field of NM 6-4 chile plants. It produces an outstanding yield of green chile, and then a great red chile crop after the initial harvest. Pods are 8" long and grow on sturdy 30" tall plants. Capsicum annuum (75 days)

Heat Level: Medium  Scoville 1000 - 3000

~ 1 lb. contains approx. 48,000 seeds. 

In early spring, start seeds indoors 8 weeks prior to warm nightly temperatures. Place the seeds in sterile media and cover 1/4” deep. Provide 85°F bottom heat, bright light and keep moist at all times. Seeds will germinate in 7 - 21 days. Transplant seedlings into pots and grow until there are 6 true leaves on the plant. Plant them directly into rich soil, 30” apart or into large 5 gallon containers. Harvest chiles when they are green. If left on the plant a couple more weeks, the chiles will turn red at full maturity.

All of our seeds are GMO-free.
