I grew these from seed. All of my pepper plants took a long time to get going, and the poblanos only started producing in August.
The plants are very tall and have been heavy producers, with many peppers growing at a time.
Requires no special care.

My favorite chili pepper, and I've grown several. The grow _very_ well in New Mexico. The Poblano, while not as well known as other chilis, has much better flavor - at least for me. I've harvested 10 lbs of peppers from 3 plants this year - a less than optimal year - and they are still producing here in October.
The name ancho means 'wide,' referencing the broad, flat, heart-shaped pods in the dried form --- an (ancho) chili.
“Poblano” is the name given the same thick walled pod when fresh. It is delicious roasted, peeled, and stuffed, (“rellenos” translates as, “stuffed”).
Alternatively, we also enjoy roasted poblano peppers topped with roasted fresh corn niblets and a sassy dollop of savory fresh homemade green cilantro/Serrano mayonnaise.
The pod is generally from 1,000 to 1,500 Scoville Units, however the occasional L'enfant terrible can sneak into one's garden unannounced, and blow your ears off.
