Grow Your Own Mild & Flavorful Anaheim Pepper Seeds
Discover the rich history and delicious flavor of Anaheim Pepper Seeds, the original New Mexico green chile that started it all! Developed in 1913 by Dr. Fabian Garcia, these peppers were bred to be bigger, fleshier, and milder - perfect for those who love flavor without intense heat.
Why Choose Anaheim Pepper Seeds?
Each packet contains 30 high-quality, GMO-free seeds that produce robust 30" plants with excellent foliage cover. The peppers grow to an impressive 7.5" long and 2" wide, offering a mild heat level of 500-1000 Scoville units - ideal for salsas, roasting, or stuffing.
Easy to Grow & Highly Productive
These TMV-resistant plants thrive in rich soil or large 5-gallon containers. Start seeds indoors 8 weeks before warm weather, ensuring 85°F bottom heat and bright light for optimal germination (7-21 days). Transplant when seedlings have 6 true leaves, spacing them 30" apart for best results.
Versatile Harvest Options
Pick peppers green for a classic flavor or wait a few extra weeks for them to turn rich red at full maturity. For an even meatier option, try our Anaheim Sonora pepper—another TMV-resistant variety!

Dr. Garcia never moved to california ! Seeds of New Mexico chiles were taken to CA in the early 1900s and as they grew near Anaheim, THOSE chiles are called anaheims. Read some history and update your page !!!

I grew these Anaheim chile seeds from you last year, they were great - most all the seeds germinated so I had to thin them (a hard task to swallow!) I managed to save some of the extras to put in their own pots to share with my community garden members. All the plants grew quickly and produced a ton of pods - which we roasted and ate as fast as we could grow them. I'll plant more this season and will make room for more plants so that we can have a bigger harvest and ideally freeze some for the winter months! Thanks for the great seeds.
After living and working in New Mexico many years, graduate school took me back to the Midwest...where green chile was virtually unknown! So each year I flew back to my favorite state. In the Fall, I brought back as many fresh green chilies as would fit in my golf bag. In the Spring, I hand-carried an entire flat of green chile seedings through the Albuquerque airport and onto the plane. This year, a dear friend sent me a package Anaheim chile seeds from a company I never knew existed: Sandia Seed Company! So I ordered even more seeds, planted them this Spring and my garden exploded with Anaheim chilies! The pods were long, fleshy, fat and mild--- perfect to roast and share with my family. I had so many chile pods that I began introducing them to neighbors and friends, teaching them to roast and use chilies to make rellenos, salsa, enchiladas and add them to dozens of dishes. My huge pepper plants continued producing buckets...yes, BUCKETS of chilies for weeks into late fall. Best of all, I've enjoyed my favorite green chile all summer & fall, knowing my freezer is nearly full of roasted chilies waiting to enhance so many meals until next year's harvest.
Planted these Peppers this spring thought they were going to be hot turned out they were just as sweet and tasty as a California Wonder
Easy to grow. Produced large plants with plenty of peppers. They were delicious. Can't wait to order more to grow this summer. Best seeds I bought last year.
Excellent seeds. Produced a lot of chile for me this past season. Definitely will be purchasing more, plus other varieties as well...
Everything from eating fresh in salads, making refrigerator pickles, fermented pepper sauce, to tons of peppers in the freezer, these were the champ of my garden 2020 season. Thanks Sandia Seed!
These chilies are a fall festival here in Arizona and growing them is rewarding, because if you've never had truly "garden fresh' before, you're really missing out.
For those of us that enjoy the chile taste without the heat, Anaheim is perfect. The plants grew well, few pests and perfect pods. What more could you ask?
PRODUCTIVE PLANTS, NICE SIZED CHILES, NICE THICK FLESH FOR EASY PEELING AND GREAT FLAVOR.
