Ancho Poblano Pepper Seedlings

Ancho Poblano represent the golden mean of the pepper universe. They've got some spice, but you can easily chomp right into them. They've got some genuine pepper flavor, but it's muted a bit by the heat. They're great fresh, cooked, pickled, dried, or blistered in fire when fully ripe. They grow abundantly on bushes that reach nearly three feet tall. Plant early, though, if your goal is to maximize the number of ripe pods you get; they do require a fairly long growing season.

You can buy these dried peppers in a plastic bag or grow 10 times as many in your garden, fresh! Read more about preserving your peppers on our blog.
