The Anaheim Chili, a mildly-spicy variety, is characterised by its shiny, dark-lime green skin and elongated shape. It was first grown by Emilio C. Ortega in 1894. Through a fire-roasting process, Emilio preserved the peppers by stripping away their skins, followed by deseeding and rinsing prior to canning. Ortega, his business, currently produces canned Anaheim chillies alongside other products.
The Anaheim Chilli's outer skin can be tough when unripe and must be peeled prior to roasting, either from an open flame, a grill, or a stovetop griddle. Once charred, the skin can be easily removed once cooled.
Seed Quantity 15 Seeds
Species Capsicum annuum
Origin California, USA
Heat Level (Scoville Rating) Mild (500-2,500 SHU)
Pod Description Anaheim chillies reach a maximum length of 25cm and a maximum width of 5cm, ripening from green to red. The pods are used more often when green.
Also known as California Chile, Magdalena and Chile Seco del Norte (when fully matured and dried)
Anaheim Chilli seeds should be sown as early as possible during spring to capitalise on the plant's rapid growth rate, ideally in an area with ample warmth and sunlight. Reaching a maximum height of nearly 1 meter, Anaheim Chilli is a large and bushy plant that necessitates rich soil to ensure optimal production of sizeable pods. Keeping the soil moist is necessary to ensure an abundance of large pods. Though well-suited for potted culture, support may be required due to its substantial stature. Pods are usually ready to pick from about 80 days after sowing.

I’ve bought several packets of seeds from Bishybarnabeescottsgegarden. Always great quality and great service. Thank you again
From ordering, receiving my gorgeously wrapped box, opening to reveal copper coloured shiny tins with beautiful labels. To smelling the fantastic fragrance, I was overwhelmed with the seamless flow of this purchase. Highly recommended and I’ll definitely try out more flavours.
Ordered these as I saw one growing wild in my garden and thought was lovely. Seeds arrived very promptly, part of a small batch of various seeds, along with a free gift which was very much appreciated. Will certainly buy again and am looking forward to seeing the plants next year.
amazing germination on these seeds. looking forward to lots of beautiful spring flowers
Seeds sown directly outdoors last summer, all germinated and formed lovely silvery rosettes, and half have now also thrown up flower stalks and are producing stunning vivid pink flowers. I’m hopeful that the other half may do the same next summer. Great seeds, well packaged, excellent instructions - many thanks!
I've never grown Hesperis (sweet rocket) until this year, but Melanie's seeds were so successful and prolific, that I now have beautiful flowers wafting their amazing aroma around my garden...plus our honey bees are so happy 🐝 In fact lots of pollinators are visiting!
