Grow flavorful, mildly spicy peppers with Anaheim Chili Pepper Seeds, a classic Capsicum annuum heirloom often called New Mexico Chile. Known for their smoky flavor, mild heat, and culinary versatility, Anaheim peppers are perfect for roasting, stuffing, grilling, or blending into salsas, tamales, and sauces.
First popularized in California by Emilio Ortega in the late 1800s, this variety has become a favorite among home gardeners for its reliable yields and well-balanced flavor. Anaheim peppers mature from bright green to deep red and register 500–2,500 Scoville Heat Units (SHU)—offering gentle spice that enhances rather than overpowers your dishes.
Compact, high-yielding plants grow 2–3 feet tall and 18–24 inches wide, thriving in full sun and well-drained soil. Ideal for raised beds, patio containers, or even hydroponic systems, they produce consistent harvests across USDA zones 3–12.
Mild, Smoky, and Versatile:
- Long, slender peppers with mild heat and deep, smoky flavor
- Perfect for roasting, stuffing, grilling, or canning
- 500–2,500 SHU—milder than jalapeños but full of flavor
- Compact plants suited for gardens, patios, or containers
- Matures in 75–90 days from planting
Why Gardeners Love Anaheim Peppers:
- Reliable yields and strong adaptability in various climates
- Non-GMO, open-pollinated heirloom seeds for sustainable growing
- Excellent for traditional Mexican and Southwestern cooking
- Consistent production with long harvest windows
How to Grow:
- Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before your last frost date.
- Keep soil temperatures between 65–75°F for germination (7–14 days).
- Transplant outdoors after frost danger has passed and soil has warmed.
- Grow in full sun with fertile, well-drained soil and consistent moisture.
- Harvest when peppers reach desired color—green for mild flavor, red for richer taste.
Harvest & Use:
Roast Anaheim peppers to bring out their signature smoky sweetness, or stuff them with cheese, grains, or meats for classic Latin-inspired dishes. They’re also excellent for drying, canning, or freezing for year-round flavor.
