Hot Pepper, Ancho Poblano

This amazing classic Mexican pepper has a great heat that make them essential to any authentic southern cooking. They have large, open fruits that make them perfect for stuffing and they produce well all summer long right through October. Grilled, stuffed or eaten fresh these will be sure to be a favorite.

Hot Pepper: As group of veggies with tons and tons of variety, there is a pepper for everyone out there. Hot pepper’s heat come from a chemical they produce called capsaicin. Even when they turn out to be too spicy to eat, I love to use the peppers to make a hot oil that can deter pests like squirrels.

Growing Tips: Hot peppers love sun and heat! They do great all summer long in a greenhouse as well as in the garden. Give peppers plenty of fertility and at least 12 inches between plants.
