Hatch Green Chile Pepper
25 Seeds
Originally bred in 1894, this New Mexico chile has enjoyed a resurgence of popularity over the past few years. Peppers grown in the Hatch Valley of the southwest are sold seasonally in grocery stores throughout the U.S. where they often command a premium price. Why not save some money and grow your own? Large, healthy plants produce heavy yields of large green peppers with a medium heat level. Excellent for stuffing and grilling, but also well-suited for use in fresh or canned salsa. Hatch chile peppers are initially green and ripen to red when fully mature, but they're delicious at any stage. Flavor is often described as crisp, spicy, subtly sweet and smoky. Medium heat. 75 days to harvest.

Customer Reviews
I wanted to grow hatch chiles for chile verde. I started them under grow lights in the basement before transplanting outside in Zone 5 with giod germination rate. They've grown well and are producing consistently with great flavor, even in containers.
It's been a month since I've planted my Hatch Green Chilie Seeds. I planted 14 Seeds & none of them have even sprouted up yet. I really hope that they grow, I'll be very disappointed if they don't sprout. I was looking forward to planting green chilie peppers. I really hope that they will start sprouting soon.
Hi LN, thanks for your review. A month is quite a while for peppers, I think it would be worthwhile to replant. We'll be in contact to arrange a replacement. In the meantime, you can read our tips for starting peppers here:

Had about 40% germination of ~20 seeds in a moist paper towel on a heat mat. Of those, two made it to transplantable seedling stage. This has typically been my luck with Hatch, so not terribly disappointed by these seeds, but if anyone has any suggestions, I'm all ears!
Thanks for your review, MG. We've had good luck starting our Hatch in moist media with a heat mat beneath and a dome on top. Here's an article detailing all of the tricks we use starting peppers:

It sprouted, but Im waiting for it to start bearing actual peppers. So far, I am pleased.
So far so good, check back in a few weeks for an update
