Description:
The Anaheim Chili Pepper also known as the New Mexican pepper produces long, smooth, pendant fruits with a mildly hot flavor. This is the most popular chile commercially grown in New Mexico for drying (poblano peppers) and other uses; in New Mexico chile peppers are a food, not a spice. It is adaptable to other warm regions but loves the hot days and cool nights of the Southwest. Plants are vigorous and compact with heavy foliage to prevent sunscald. Pods ripen from green to red.

Planting Space 12 to 48 inches apart, depending on type.
Soil requirements: Peppers need well-drained, nutrient-rich soil.
Amend soil with 3 to 5 inches of compost or other organic matter prior to planting. Soil pH should be 6.2 to 7.0.
Water requirements: Keep soil consistently moist throughout the growing season. Mulch soil to reduce water evaporation.
Frost-fighting plan: Pepper is a hot-weather crop.
A light frost will damage plants (28º F to 32º F), and temps below 55º F slow growth and cause leaves to look yellowish.
