Mulato Isleño - Hot Pepper Seeds
Mulato Isleno peppers, belonging to the poblano type, offer a gentle level of heat that complements their unique heart-shaped appearance. As they ripen, transitioning from a vibrant green hue to a deep, enticing dark chocolate brown, they develop a rich complexity of flavor. These peppers are particularly well-suited for a variety of culinary endeavors, including the preparation of vibrant salsas, roasting, and the creation of flavorful stuffed dishes. Dimensions reach approximately 3 inches in width and 6 inches in length.
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.
