Poblano Ancho Gigantea Pepper Seeds - A Smoky-Sweet Mexican Classic

Elevate your garden and kitchen with the rich, versatile flavors of Poblano Ancho Gigantea Pepper Seeds. This heirloom Mexican pepper is beloved for its dual-purpose use-enjoy it fresh as a poblano or dried as an ancho chile. With a mild heat level (1,000-2,000 Scoville), it’s perfect for stuffing, roasting, sauces, and seasoning.

Why Grow Poblano Ancho Gigantea Peppers?

These peppers are a culinary treasure, offering:

  • Distinctive Flavor: Smoky yet sweet, ideal for authentic Mexican dishes.
  • Dual Use: Harvest green for poblanos (great for chiles rellenos) or red for drying into anchos.
  • Heirloom Quality: Open-pollinated, GMO-free seeds for sustainable gardening.
  • Prolific Plants: Compact 24" plants produce 4"+ heart-shaped peppers all season.

Growing Your Poblano Peppers

Start seeds indoors 8 weeks before warm weather. Plant in sterile soil 1/4" deep with 85°F bottom heat. Germination takes 7-21 days. Transplant seedlings after 6 true leaves appear, spacing 30" apart or in 5-gallon containers. Harvest green poblanos or wait for red anchos.

THANK YOU SANDIA!

For always efficiently delivering consistant quality seeds, especially maintaining our precious heirlooms. Currently waiting for my new peppers to peek through the soil and praying for a good season this year.

Amazing!

I grew these last year from 2022 seed. 100% germination, and amazing production right until the frost did them in. I made so many stuffed poblanos, (they freeze well) and also soup. Ended up with bags full to give to family and friends. Thanks to Sandia for the generous amount of seed in the packet, I've planted more again, and the seeds are still germinating perfectly! I had planted one poblano in a 5-gallon pot as a trial. It produced many poblanos and although they got a lot of sun, they were considerably smaller than the ones in the garden.

Not ideal for containers or balconies

I would recommend these if you're able to give it the space and light it needs, but I wouldn't recommend growing these in a container or with less that full sun all day long. My plant was quite large but my peppers ended up pretty small (about clementine sized), though I acknowledge that's most likely due to the conditions I gave it. My peppers were otherwise very good!

Nice and large!

These are great poblanos for roasting and stuffing to make into chile rellanos. Nice and large with thick flesh, so they are easy to roast and peel and stuff. Will grow again! Good germination, too, nearly every seed sprouted with our seedling mat heat, I think the heat helps a lot with peppers.
