Space plants 18–24 inches apart in full sun.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWater regularly to keep soil evenly moist, 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, typically 70–90 days after transplanting. For dried Ancho peppers, allow pods to turn red on the plant, then harvest and dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e25 Ancho Poblano Pepper seeds (Capsicum annuum).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67739752497462,"sku":"EDNA-192","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.8063144311_tb1m.jpg?v=1792115079","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/ancho-poblano-pepper-25-seeds-heirloom-non-gmo-capsicum-annuum-mild-hot-garden-vegetable","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
