One of the older releases from NMSU in 1975 and still one of the best green chiles available. It is a favorite of home gardeners and chefs for making chile rellenos, a stuffed chile pod. The light to medium green fruit grows to almost 8” long and 2” wide and moderately flattened. The round-shouldered fruit tapers to a hook at the apex. Plant height is 16”-26” tall. 

The Big Jim has always been the most famous New Mexico green chile.  Capsicum annuum (75 days)

Heat Level: Mild to Medium  Scoville 2500 - 4000

~ Packet contains 1 oz. (Approx. 3,000 - 4,000 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.

The seeds have a high germination rate. Plants grow big and healthy. The produce is great, it is medium heat, but has a great flavor.
