Planting & Care

Start seeds indoors 8–10 weeks before the last frost date. Sow seeds ¼ inch deep in seed-starting mix and keep consistently moist at 75–85°F. Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, transplant into larger pots or harden off and plant outdoors after danger of frost has passed. Space plants 18–24 inches apart in full sun and well-drained soil. Water regularly, but avoid waterlogging. Mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Fertilize lightly when plants begin to flower.

Harvest peppers when they reach full size and are firm. For dried ancho chilies, allow peppers to turn red and dry on the plant or harvest and dry indoors.
