Velarde Chile - a traditional chile from Northern New Mexico - $5 - (Espanola, NM)

Velarde is primarily an apple growing area, but some fine chile is raised there as well. The strain I have came from a friend whose wife's family has grown it there for a long time. It is smooth and quite regular so it is preferred for riastras. The heat varies, but tends to be quite spicy. This variety turns bright red in about 90 days from transplanting or 120 from direct seeding in the field. A packet contains approximately 80 seeds.
