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.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are heirloom seeds?
What are heirloom seeds?
Heirloom seeds are the types of seeds your grandparents grew. These varieties have been passed down from generation to generation. They’re old reliable open-pollinated varieties that aren’t typically grown commercially. Instead, they have a rich history that predates modern breeding techniques.
You can learn more about open-pollinated, heirloom, and non-GMO seeds in our Survival Garden Training blog.
How do I know my seeds are fresh?
How do I know my seeds are fresh?
Every seed packet includes a "packed for" date, and we germination test each seed lot before packaging to ensure you receive viable, high-quality seeds that are ready to grow.
Are your seeds treated?
Are your seeds treated?
No, we do not pre-treat our farmer seeds. All of our garden seeds for sale are untreated, open-pollinated, non-GMO, and heirloom varieties. They are kept in temperature-controlled cooler storage until they are packed and shipped to keep them pest and disease-free.
In what zones can I grow your seeds?
In what zones can I grow your seeds?
The seeds in our collections are specifically chosen from varieties that can be successfully grown from Zone 3 to Zone 10 USDA Hardiness Zones. However, individual varieties have specific needs to thrive in different environments. Each seed pack has optimal temperatures for germination and instructions on seed starting. Consult local frost dates to plan your garden and get the most out of your seeds.
What is the shelf life of these gardening seeds?
What is the shelf life of these gardening seeds?
Most seeds remain viable for 3 to 5 years or longer when stored properly. Check your seed packet for specific varieties. For best results, keep your seeds in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Store them in an airtight container in a consistent temperature environment—a refrigerator or cool basement works well. Proper storage helps maintain germination rates and extends seed life well beyond the packed date.
