What Makes Survival Garden Seeds Different - non-GMO heirloom seeds

Grow authentic Mexican flavor at home with Poblano Pepper Seeds from Survival Garden Seeds. This heirloom Capsicum annuum variety produces large, heart-shaped peppers with mild heat and rich, earthy flavor—a staple in traditional dishes like chile relleno, adobo sauces, and roasted pepper salsas.

Poblanos are known for their deep green color, thick walls, and complex taste, offering warmth without overwhelming spice. When dried, they transform into ancho peppers, prized for their smoky-sweet depth in sauces and stews. Whether used fresh, roasted, or preserved, poblanos deliver unmatched culinary versatility straight from your garden.

Compact plants grow 24–30 inches tall and thrive in full sun and well-drained soil, producing an abundant crop of 5-inch fruits that mature from dark green to deep red-brown in 75–90 days. Perfect for raised beds, containers, or in-ground gardens across USDA zones 4–11.
