Rattlesnake-(Capsicum annuum)-The Rattlesnake Pepper was developed by the Lytle family of New Mexico. This is an extremely hot Hatch chile type that is hot but not quite as hot as the Hatch Lumbre. So, heat a about twice the heat level of a Jalapeno but not four times as hot as the Lumbre. The Rattlesnake chile produces chiles 6 to 8 inches in length. It is great for roasting, stuffing, sauces and salsa. The Rattlesnake chile plants grow just over 4 feet tall.
