Variety details & grower notes
🔥 Blazing heat meets legendary flavor. The Hatch Lumbre (Spanish for “fire”) is one of the hottest Hatch chile varieties ever developed—bringing bold, smoky Southwest flavor with a searing kick. Bred in New Mexico’s Hatch Valley and loved by heat-seekers, this chile delivers everything you want in a Hatch pepper—just cranked up to full flame.
Â
These long, glossy pods grow 5–6 inches and ripen from green to deep red. Perfect for roasting, salsas, sauces, and drying into potent chile powder, Lumbre is your go-to for spicy authenticity in every dish. The plants are vigorous and productive, thriving in hot, sunny climates just like the Hatch Valley itself.
