Pepper-new Mex 6-4l

Heirloom. This sturdy New Mexican pepper produces long, smooth, pendant fruits with a mildly hot flavor. This is the most popular chile commercially grown in New Mexico for drying (poblano peppers) and other uses; in New Mexico chile peppers are a food, not a spice. It is adaptable to other warm regions but loves the hot days and cool nights of the Southwest. Plants are vigorous and compact with heavy foliage to prevent sunscald. Pods ripen from green to red.
