Caballero is the bestselling poblano pepper in the world, and one crop will show you why. For huge yields of large, glossy, uniform, deliciously mild peppers, rely on this trusted favorite!
Caballero (the name means "gentleman") sets generous numbers of big, glossy peppers with wide shoulders and a sharply tapering shape, terminating in a point. Up to 6 inches long and 3 inches wide (at the shoulder), this thick-walled pepper is perfect for stuffing, and is the classic chile relleno ingredient.
Caballero turns from bright green to red on the plant (though it may be picked green if desired), and as it ripens, it increases in richness of flavor, nutrition, and heat. A relatively mild pepper with 1000 to 2000 scoville units (Habanero peppers, for instance, clock in at 215,000 scovilles!), it is versatile in its uses. When you've eaten all the fresh Caballero peppers you want, dry the remainder to create ancho peppers, crush them into spice, freeze them, or can them!
Caballero is prized for its uniformity and dependably large yields, but it's the flavor that will bring you back to this poblano again and again. Begin a tradition this year -- grow the very best for your pepper garden! Pkt is 20 seeds.
This shrubby plant is grown for its edible fruit that are also highly ornamental and can be used in seasonal container displays. The fruits come in a variety of sizes, colors (green, red, yellow, orange, purple), shapes (rounded or oblong, tapered, bell-, horn-, hear-, or wedge-shaped), and degrees of sweetness and heat. Harvest them as soon as they are firm. They are edible in a variety of color stages(they mostly turn from green to red), so harvest them when they are at the right stage for that particular variety. They will hold in the field for 2-3 weeks: once harvested for a week or two.
Superior Germination Through Superior Science
First of all, we have humidity- and temperature-controlled storage, and we never treat any of our seeds with chemicals or pesticides. Nor do we ever sell GMO's (genetically modified seeds), so you always know the products you're buying from us are natural as well as safe for you and the environment.

Hand Packed By Experienced Technicians
Park Seed has been handling and packing vegetable and flower seeds for 145 years, a history that has given us a great understanding of how each variety should be cared for and maintained throughout every step of theprocess, from collection to shipping.
When packing our seeds, the majority are actually done by hand (with extreme care!), and we often over-pack them, so you're receiving more than the stated quantity.
The Park Seed Gold Standard
Heirloom Seeds are open-pollinated -- they are not hybrids. You can gather and save heirloom seed from year to year and they will grow true to type every year, so they can be passed down through generations. To be considered an heirloom, a variety would have to be at least from the 1940's and 3 generations old (many varieties are much older -- some 100 years or more!).
Hybrid seed are the product of cross-pollination between 2 different parent plants, resulting in a new plant/seed that is different from the parents. Unlike Heirloom seed, hybrid seed need to be re-purchased new every year (and not saved). They usually will not grow true to type if you save them, but will revert to one of the parents they were crossed with and most likely look/taste different in some way.
