Know before you buy
This variety is known for a mild heat profile. It offers a rich, satisfying chili flavor that is approachable for most palates, making it a versatile choice for cooking.
These seeds are film-coated and treated, which helps with handling and protection. However, because they are intended for transplanting, you should start them indoors or in a greenhouse before moving them to your garden once the soil is warm.
You can expect these peppers to reach maturity in approximately 72 days after transplanting. Keep in mind that germination typically takes between 10 and 20 days.
This resistance means the plant has a built-in defense to help it withstand infection from the Tobacco Mosaic Virus. While it doesn't make the plant immune, it significantly improves your chances of a healthy, reliable harvest compared to non-resistant varieties.
With their uniform 8-inch length and medium-thick flesh, these peppers are ideal for classic chile rellenos. They also hold up very well to grilling and roasting, which helps bring out their rich flavor.
These peppers thrive in full sun and require warm soil between 80-85°F for optimal germination. Ensure you provide enough space, with 12-24 inches between plants in a row and 2-3 feet between rows, to allow for proper airflow and growth.
