NuMex Joe E. Parker is an authentic New Mexico-style anaheim-type pepper with 6-7 inch-long, straight and meaty pods, grown on 2.5 ft. plants. The tapered fruit has a thick flesh that transitions from green to red. It has a mild-to-medium flavor, a Scoville Heat Rating of 500-2,000, and high yields. Named for Mr. Joe E. Parker, a graduate of New Mexico State University, this pepper brings flavor without being overly hot.

GROWING TIPS
SEED FACTS

GROWING TIPS

Start seed indoors 6-8 weeks before last frost. A heat mat helps to speed up the germination process. Optimum soil temperature for seed germination is 65-85 degrees. Peppers generally have long growing seasons and grow slowly during cool temperatures. Delay transplanting until your soil has thoroughly warmed up in the spring. A week before transplanting time, harden off plants by exposing them to an increasing number of hours outdoors each day. Peppers are less cold tolerant than tomatoes.
