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!

Delicious and productive plants

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.

Green Chile Seeds at Last!

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.

These gave me a looong season in Texas!

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!

Nothing like home grown

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.

Produced chile until it was chilly!

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?

Great plants

This are the best Anaheim Chile seeds to grow, they sprouted quickly, grew into robust plants. I waited to plant some until the weather warmed up in early June and planted some earlier in late May, but the ones planted in June did a lot better. I think the cold 40-50˚ weather in late May stunted the earlier planted ones. So I will plant them later, as the later-planted chiles were nice robust plants with lots of chiles. Will grow these again!

Delicious Green Chile!

I had great germination on these seeds, and the plants were loaded with tasty green chiles – we roasted and made into green chile. I will be growing these every year from here on out!

I LOVE these Peppers for making Green Chile!

I love to grow these Anaheim peppers so I can make green chile stew, I roast the peppers, peel the skins, and chop to add to my crockpot with the rest of the goodies. These chile pepper seeds grow into healthy plants that grow well here in Denver, though I need to start my seeds a little earlier next year, and make sure they are warm as mine were a little slow to hatch! :) Probably due to my colder basement... I'll warm them next year!
