San Luis
Aromatic and richly sweet, San Luis poblano peppers unfold with a velvety, deep-green skin that turns to a warm, glossy red as they mature—fragrant enough to perfume the garden. The fruits are medium-large and gently tapered, with thick, crisp flesh and a pleasantly mild, full-bodied flavor that shines in fresh salads, roasted applications, and vibrant sauces. Grow San Luis for dependable, 75-day harvests and a pepper that delivers both substance and a clean, sweet finish.
