Poblano, Ancho - Hot Pepper Seeds

HEIRLOOM. Pablano peppers are a fantastic choice for adding authentic flavor to any Mexican dish. These plump, heart-shaped peppers offer a mild heat and a unique taste that elevates your cooking. Growing on a bushy 36-inch plant, they're ideal for dishes like chiles rellenos. When fresh and green, these peppers are known as poblanos. Once fully ripened and dried, they become the richly flavored Ancho chiles.

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.
