Mulato Isleño - A wonderful mild chile with a sweet flavor. It is slightly larger and sweeter than the Poblano. It matures to a rich chocolate brown and is sometimes called chocolate poblano. Mulatos can be used in both the immature and mature stage and uses include making rellenos, salsa, roasting, and drying. The dried Mulato is an essential ingredient in authentic mole sauce.
This heart-shaped pepper is 3” wide and 6“ long. It has a distinctive sweet flavor and ripens from deep glossy green to rich dark chocolate brown. Pods grow all season on sturdy 3’ tall plants. Open-pollinated - Heirloom - Non-GMO
Capsicum annuum (76 days)
Heat Level: Mild Scoville 1,000 - 1,500
~ Packet contains 10 seeds.
In early spring, start seeds indoors 8 weeks prior to warm nightly temperatures. Place the seeds in sterile media and cover 1/4” deep. Provide 85°F bottom heat, bright light and keep moist at all times. Seeds will germinate in 7 - 21 days. Transplant seedlings into pots and grow until there are 6 true leaves on the plant. Plant them directly into rich soil, 30” apart in the garden, or into large 5-gallon containers. Harvest peppers when they are dark green.
All of our seeds are GMO-free.
Never tried before so only 2 were planted. Wish I did more. Even with late start outside here in z8b I had 15 on 1 plant and 20 on other. Both in large pots. Gave my neighbor a few to try and we both will plant more next yr. Thank you!!
These were GREAT sellers for seedlings. We had poor germination with a few other varieties and these stole the show. Loved sharing these seedlings with people. Had great feedback that everyone's plant produced big, quality peppers!
Planted 12 plants.what we did we roasted them and freeze them for later. We dried some,we made a seasoning powered. And best of all we gave some to our friends and neighbors. We plant again next year.
From the 8 robust plants that I planted from seed, I've harvested over 300 meaty peppers. I'm very pleased with the production. Much more than I ever got from the hybrid poblanos from Bonnie plants. I wanted to save the seeds so I didn't need to purchase expensive bedding plants, but planted more that I would usually need assuming that open pollenated plants wouldn't produce like the hybrids. LOL I foresee lots of chili stew in the future.
Thank you Sandia Seed Co.
Half of my pepper plants are producing heavy peppers that are over 5 inches. The largest plants are now 5 feet tall with many peppers. I'll be using one of them for seed stock, the largest peppers are close to 7 inches and the heat is perfect. Their spice reminds me of the Sandia peppers of my youth in the South Valley of Albuquerque. Pretty much the perfect pepper.

These fabulous peppers added lots of color to our patio pots. So pretty in multiple colors, plus you can pick them and add to salsa for a nice spicy kick. These are fun in any ornamental edible garden.
We let these hang dry, then ground them up – they made the tastiest pepper flakes. They have a nice kick, but good flavor too. Easy to grow plants, pretty peppers.
Great seeds, good germination, plants grow quickly and produce lots of pods for roasting. Great flavor and just the right amount of spice. We grow these every year in our garden in Utah.
These are so beautiful, tasty, and meaty. They make a great pico-de-gallo!
These were so big, one tomato can make a nice big bowl of salsa. They do have amazing flavor and color.
These were so tasty and very productive. Great for salsa.
I tried these purple Cherokee seeds on 2024. This is the first time growing these purple Cherokees and were amazed at the ease of germination and taste
These germinated in two days. I started them in midsummer and they fruited by late fall in my zone 10b garden and are overwintering just fine. I’ll have more to harvest by late spring. I made my red sauce for pozole for Christmas with my harvest!
Big Chiles with just enough heat to add to green enchilada's. The flavor after roasting is fantastic. Since green chile roasting is not a local thing in Eastern Washington we us a weed burner. The smell of roasting peppers is heavenly.
My favorite green chili to grow. Plenty of heat and after roasting sit perfectly on a hamburger. Also my wonderful wife makes Puelo Chili jam that is a real crowd pleaser
I was looking for a spicier New Mexico red chile and this was awesome! It is a beautiful looking pepper and the taste is superb.
Very productive plants even up here in New England!
Plants were quite bushy and full of peppers. Great flavor. Made a wonderful little Ristra with some of the later harvested peppers. Will continue to grow these yearly.
These plants were super healthy all season long and produced a LOT of fruit. They'll add heat and color to any dish. They made my cowboy candy and pickled jalapeños extra special!
Very good germination rate and super abundant and delicious peppers!. I had them in 10g and 5g fabric pots and they very well the last two years. Amazing to smoke and dry / freeze to have throughout the year! I just made a spicy brown porter mustard with scotch bonnets! Also made an amazing roasted scotch bonnet hot sauce! yum!
