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 70–85°F. Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, transplant them into larger pots or harden them off for garden planting after the danger of frost has passed. Space plants 18–24 inches apart in full sun and well-drained soil.

Water regularly to keep soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Fertilize lightly when plants begin to flower. Harvest peppers when they reach desired size and color—green for traditional poblano flavor, or red for a sweeter, smokier taste. Wear gloves when handling hot peppers.
