(a.k.a. Anaheim Chile, and Long Green Chile) (Capsicum annum) 70-90 days.       As the name suggests this open-pollinated chile pepper variety was given its name when brought to the Anaheim, California area by a farmer named Emilio Ortega in the early 1900s. The Anaheim Hot Pepper is a mildly-hot variety, producing chile peppers 6-8½” long by 1½” wide, tapered or conical in shape, two-celled, of medium thickness, and pungent in flavor. The fruits are a dark green, turning to red at maturity. Plants are bushy, upright, 24-30″ in height, and bearing continuously through the season. These chile peppers are great roasted, fried, stuffed, in stews and sauces, raw, canned, or dried. Popular for chile rellenos or strung into restras.

Planting Instructions for Anaheim Hot Pepper Seeds

Anaheim Peppers are heat loving plants that are easy to grow, and do well in a variety of climates. Start seeds indoors 8–10 weeks before the last frost. Soaking Heirloom / Open Pollinated Pepper Seeds for 2–8 hrs before planting helps speed germination. Plant ¼” deep in chosen containers.

Germination will occur in 8–25 days at 75–90°F. Keep soil evenly moist (not soaked) for best germination. Harden off Anaheim Pepper plants, then transplant to the garden about 2–4 weeks after the last frost date.

Plant Anaheim Peppers in full sun, spacing about 12–18″ apart, in rows 24–30″ apart. For a more mild flavor, Anaheim Peppers can be harvested once they reach full size and are still green. Although Heirloom / Open Pollinated Hot Peppers can be picked when green, their flavor and heat will increase when allowed to mature and ripen colors, especially to full maturity.

It is best to use a knife or pruning clippers when harvesting to avoid damage to Heirloom / Open Pollinated Pepper plant. Be careful not to get oils on skin, in eyes, etc. when harvesting.
