Aromatically green at first, Tiburon ripens into a glossy, deep red pepper with a gently warming finish—mild hot, yet richly flavorful. The fruits are thick-walled and smooth, holding a satisfying snap and a silky interior that’s ideal for roasting, charring, and stuffing, as well as for fresh salsas and vibrant sauces. Grow Tiburon for dependable garden performance and peppers that look as handsome as they taste—75 days from transplant to market-ready color.

Frequently Asked Questions


What pest or disease most often affects Capsicum annuum (poblano-type peppers) and how do I control it?
A common problem is aphids, which can stunt growth and spread virus; check the undersides of leaves weekly, especially in warm weather. Spray plants with a strong jet of water to dislodge aphids, then apply insecticidal soap and repeat every 5–7 days until activity stops. Also remove badly infected leaves early and avoid wetting foliage to reduce foliar diseases.
How often should I water Capsicum annuum during peak growth (after flowering starts)?
During flowering and fruit set, keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy—aim for watering when the top 1 inch of soil feels dry. Water deeply so moisture reaches the root zone, then let excess drain; peppers in Solanaceae are prone to stress and blossom drop if the soil swings from dry to waterlogged. In full sun, this is often every 2–3 days depending on your soil and temperature, with less frequent watering if you have mulch and faster drain soils.
