Capsicum annuum Ancho Sanchez
Capsicum annuum Ancho Sanchez is a high-yielding hybrid pepper variety, valued for its massive, heart-shaped fruits and rich, complex flavor profile. Growing to about 24 to 36 inches tall with a spread of 18 to 24 inches, this vigorous plant is perfect for vegetable gardens, raised beds, and large containers where productivity and reliability are key. Unlike older open-pollinated poblano varieties, Sanchez offers superior disease resistance and a higher percentage of large, uniform two-lobed fruits, bridging the gap between green cooking peppers and fully ripe, dried chiles.
Culinary and Practical Uses
The thick-walled peppers are the premier choice for making chiles rellenos (stuffed peppers) due to their large size, broad shoulders, and sturdy texture that holds up to roasting and frying.
When harvested green (Poblano), they offer a mild heat and earthy flavor perfect for salsas and grilling; when ripened to red and dried (Ancho), they develop a deep, raisin-like sweetness essential for mole sauces.
A powerhouse of nutrition, they are rich in vitamins A and C, and contain capsaicin, which is known to boost metabolism and support heart health.
Characteristics
Foliage/Fruit: Dense, dark green canopy that protects the fruit from sunscald; produces heavy, dark green fruits that ripen to a deep chocolate-red, measuring 5 to 6 inches long.
Growth Habit: Sturdy, upright bush that branches well; the strong stems support the heavy load of fruit, though staking is recommended to prevent breakage during peak harvest.
Flowers: Produces small, white, star-shaped flowers throughout the summer, which are self-pollinating and followed quickly by fruit set.
Seeds: Harvested after the fruit fully ripens to red; seeds are concentrated at the stem end and are easily removed for cooking or saving (though as a hybrid, saved seeds may not be true to type).
Growing Requirements
Sun: Thrives in full sun; requires at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight and consistently warm temperatures to set fruit and develop flavor.
Soil: Prefers rich, loamy, well-draining soil with a pH between 6.0 and 7.0; amending with compost helps retain the moisture needed for large fruit development.
Water: Requires consistent, moderate watering; uneven moisture can lead to blossom end rot, while drought stress can increase the pungency (heat) of the peppers unpredictably.
Spacing: Plant transplants 18 to 24 inches apart in rows 24 to 36 inches apart to allow for airflow and easy harvesting.
Maintenance: Feed with a balanced fertilizer once flowering begins; calcium supplementation may be beneficial to ensure thick, healthy fruit walls.

I really am thankful for you taking the time and looking at my original pics and sending me a replacement plant. The replacement arrived with one new closed leaf in great shape. As you can see in the picture, it now has a second new leaf starting. And you can see my original plant looking fine with 2 terrific leaves since its arrival. As our weather has been very pleasant, I plan to pot both very soon. Thank you!

Thank you for your wonderful feedback, Thomas! We're so happy to hear your plant arrived quickly and in excellent condition. We're delighted you're enjoying your new plant and truly appreciate your support! 😊
I am so very impressed with this company! I had bought one of the mini banana trees first, which started dying right after I got it. After contacting the company, they agreed to give me a credit, with which I bought these two honeysuckle plants. Please excuse the weeds & bad fencing. Hopefully these little plants will grow up & cover the fence. I will be working on weeding and continuing to build a flower bed at the base of the fence. Thank you Blossomdale! I look forward to buying more plants in the future.
Store owner replied:

The fig trees arrived today in small pots very well packed. I removed them and watered them. I will let them "rest" for 4 to 5 days before I repot them and prepare them for winter, inside. Very pleased with these trees. After getting other sellers rotten packing jobs this was a real treat. I may buy more in the spring of 2027.
Store owner replied:

I was very impressed with how well my 18 little lantanas were packed. All looked healthy and I planted them yesterday. It was a little difficult unpacking them but that’s the price I paid for having you pack them so well. I was a little worried when I saw UPS coming to the door with the box slung over the driver’s shoulder despite the fact that the box was marked with an ⬆️ and it said live plants. But all is well. Now if I can just keep them alive.

Thank you for your review, Beth! We're glad your plant arrived quickly and is doing much better. We appreciate you choosing Blossomdale! 😊
Lovely little guy-- impossible to find coral honeysuckle at my local nursery for whatever reason. I really appreciate that the Blossomdale staff kept it and nurtured it a little longer so it would be more robust for the trip. Can't wait to put it in the ground and watch it thrive :-) Will order from them again.
It was my very first plant I order online so I wasn’t sure what to expect but when it got here and in one piece and as long as it is I was shocked but very HAPPY.
It's doing really well. I will be transferring it to a bigger pot probably by the weekend. I wish I had a little more instructions on how to care for this variety, and what to do in the fall.
Package came delivered just like it said it would I pulled it out it looked good. I put it in some water for about a half hour and put it in my 30 gallon tub and I got three things to go with it.
Very healthy cutting. Followed the instructions and let it get acclimated to its new surroundings for a couple of weeks before repotting. Would not hesitate to purchase from this business again 😃
Plants arrived in great condition. This plant has only been in the ground about 10 days and is growing a lot. The plant cage is 12” tall so it’s doing well. I put guards around my new plants for a little while because I have bunnies who love tender young leaves.
I got 2 mystery plants (one indoor and one outdoor). The indoor was a pilea and the outdoor plant was a white blackberry. White blackberry was dramatic, but it’s making a comeback and the pilea is doing great!
