This distinctively rich Mexican poblano has a smoky yet sweet flavor. When poblano peppers are dark green-black they can be used for stuffing and roasting. When the peppers ripen to red, they can be dried as ancho chiles and used to make sauces, soups, and meat seasoning.
This classic Mexican pepper is heart-shaped and over 4” long by 2-1/2” across at the shoulder. Plants are 24” high and will continue to grow more peppers if picked frequently. When fresh it is Poblano and when dry it is Ancho.
Capsicum annuum (95 days) Heirloom - Open Pollinated
Heat Level: Mild Scoville: 1,000-3,000
~ 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 or into large 5-gallon containers. Harvest peppers when they are green.
All of our seeds are GMO-free.
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.
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.
They are coming up like crazy! I’m anxious to try them!
Grew them for the first time in 2023. I plan on getting more for 2024. I especially liked stuffing them.
Grew these for the first time this year. Really gives good sized poblanos ideal for Chile rellenos.
Loved growing these! So many big poblanos and great flavor!
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!
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.

Germination for nearly all of my varieties was 3-5 days (95% - 100% success rate). My varieties include: Red Ghost, Carolina Reaper, Trinidad Scorpion, Devils Tongue, Cayenne Ring of Fire, Habenero Red, Yellow Jamaican, Paprika Numex, and Bolivian Rainbow. Another thing that I really appreciated is that each packet seemed to contain 20% more seeds than indicated (each 10 seed pack contained 12 seeds) - Not sure if that is standard but it was a nice bonus.
One of the best cherry tomatoes you'll ever eat!
I've found that when you combine roasted carrots, habaneros, lime juice and garlic, it will make the best hot sauce of your life. I think it's the sweetness and depth of the carrots that make the sauce even better, and pairs perfectly with the habanero heat. I got the inspiration from one of my favorite store-bought hot sauces, Marie Sharp's Habanero hot sauce. Sometimes I add some of your Chef's orange tomatoes too to make more of it, and they also give more flavor to the hot sauce and help tame the heat a bit. I grow these in my garden every year along with your orange habaneros, orange tomatoes and other hot peppers and veggies. Very reliable.
These fabulous peppers added lots of color to our patio pots. So pretty in multiple colors, plus you can pick them and add to salsa for a nice spicy kick. These are fun in any ornamental edible garden.
We let these hang dry, then ground them up – they made the tastiest pepper flakes. They have a nice kick, but good flavor too. Easy to grow plants, pretty peppers.
Great seeds, good germination, plants grow quickly and produce lots of pods for roasting. Great flavor and just the right amount of spice. We grow these every year in our garden in Utah.
These are so beautiful, tasty, and meaty. They make a great pico-de-gallo!
These were so big, one tomato can make a nice big bowl of salsa. They do have amazing flavor and color.
These were so tasty and very productive. Great for salsa.
I tried these purple Cherokee seeds on 2024. This is the first time growing these purple Cherokees and were amazed at the ease of germination and taste
These germinated in two days. I started them in midsummer and they fruited by late fall in my zone 10b garden and are overwintering just fine. I’ll have more to harvest by late spring. I made my red sauce for pozole for Christmas with my harvest!
Big Chiles with just enough heat to add to green enchilada's. The flavor after roasting is fantastic. Since green chile roasting is not a local thing in Eastern Washington we us a weed burner. The smell of roasting peppers is heavenly.
My favorite green chili to grow. Plenty of heat and after roasting sit perfectly on a hamburger. Also my wonderful wife makes Puelo Chili jam that is a real crowd pleaser
I was looking for a spicier New Mexico red chile and this was awesome! It is a beautiful looking pepper and the taste is superb.
Very productive plants even up here in New England!
