Poblano - Fresh green poblanos make some of the best rellenos because of their mild heat and heart-like shape. Anchos are the dried form of this pepper, and are used in making many sauces like mole. This heirloom is easy to grow.
Chiles are 4" long and 2-1/2" wide and ripen from dark green to rust red. Plants are 30" tall and yield a continuous harvest all season long. Capsicum annuum (75 days)
Heat Level: Mild Scoville 500 - 1,000
~ Packet contains 10 seeds.
In early spring, start seeds indoors 8 weeks prior to warm nightly temperatures. Place the seeds in sterile media and cover 1/4” deep. Provide 85°F bottom heat, bright light and keep moist at all times. Seeds will germinate in 7 - 21 days. Transplant seedlings into pots and grow until there are 6 true leaves on the plant. Plant them directly into rich soil, 30” apart in the garden, or into large 5 gallon containers. Harvest chiles when they are green.
All of our seeds are GMO-free.





I planned to grow 2 different poblanos this year but these are definitely NOT poblanos. The poblanos (bastan) are in the background in one photo.
Hi Karen! Sorry to hear that the variety didn't grow true, please email us at sales@sandiaseed.com and we can replace the seeds or give you a refund. We stand behind our seeds!
Am I the only one having issues with theses seeds. This is the second year I've planted the Poblanos and gotten something I can't identify. Last year 2024 I did get one plant with actual Poblanos the rest were as the pictured. This year out of four plants these are all I've gotten. I buy all my pepper seeds from Sandia every year and these are the only ones I have an issue with. It's disappointing as I am very picky about what i plant due to assigned space in my Garden beds. I gave 3 stars because as always the plants germinated and grew well.
Every season, this pepper is in our line up. When roasted, it is absolutely the best tasting pepper in the world. I roast poblano & pimento peppers every year and cannot be without this variety in the garden!
Do you crave dark green delicious poblano peppers? Do you hope for large 4-5 inch long poblano peppers? Do you want dozens of poblanos growing on each plant? Do you dream of an easy to care for disease free poblano plant? Do you want healthy, strong growing plants 4-5 feet tall? Can you just taste that classic poblano in enchiladas? THESE are the poblano seeds you want!
Seeds were started indoors with 100% germination and transplanted outside in late May. Plants grew 4-5 feet tall and were so healthy and completely disease-free. This pepper loves the sun and has no problem standing strong in our 100+ degree summer days. The poblanos were a glossy dark green and so big! We enjoyed tons of peppers and shared with our family. Our favorite dish is Creamy Poblano Chicken Enchiladas. I chop up poblanos and put in freezer bags so we can enjoy their fresh taste all winter long. I can't recommend these poblanos enough.
These poblano seeds were great, they quickly sprouted and grew into nice sized plants with lots of poblanos. We love making stuffed poblanos and these were perfect. Our entire family enjoyed the feast.
We love cooking with these delicious pods – roasting them really brings out their rich flavor.
If you garden in Colorado or any high elevation, short growing season, hail storms late July, blistering hot days and dang near hurricane force winds…. These are the seeds for you. My plants were put to the test this year and this was one of my highest yielding and best performing and most resilient pepper plants. These seeds are coming from very good genetic lines and I highly recommend them. This particular plant was first eaten to the nub… TWICE… by rabbits. We had an unbelievably windy spring, this plant kept on growing, it just has a beautiful thick trunk on it. July 26th came along and we got SMASHED by a hail storm. My garden looked like it went through the mulcher, my house got a whole new roof and paint and gutters from how bad the storm was, and by late September I harvested about two dozen large healthy peppers. We have a very short growing season so I never expect a huge harvest first year. But this year I am storing my pepper plants to replant next year (they are perennials) and am pretty sure I’ll get a good second year harvest.
An annual favorite of ours. Great for salsas, cheese filled. I can them in strips for easier use throughout the year.
Bought these seeds last year. Very good germination rate. They produced half a dozen tall, elegant plants which yielded a prolific crop of tasty peppers with just the right level of heat for chiles rellenos and general purpose use (let them ripen all the way to bright red and substitute for bell peppers in any sauce or relish to kick it up a bit). Overwintered the two best plants and got the same yield and quality this year. Very useful and versatile pepper.
I ordered several seeds varieties for 2021. So far I am very happy with the delivery. Looking forward to start in April for June planting. Thanks for excellent service! Found this gem of a company that specializes in peppers. Thanks Sandia Seed Company! I could not have found the collection I bought from you anywhere else!
