So many poblanos from one plant

We are having a hard time keeping up with the number of poblanos on this one plant. And now in mid-late August, they are turning a deep dark red. Beautiful.

Poblano

My order was shipped and received quickly. The plants were packed very well to protect them during shipping. I waited until the next morning to transplant them in 5 gallon pots. They are both doing well. I cannot wait to get Poblano's!! I am so happy I found your company. Next year I will order all of my plants from you. I highly recommend this outstanding company!

Curvy Poblano Plant

The packaging of this Poblano plant was amazing (as always), but I was concerned about the plant's shape. Over half of the Poblano was curved downward so that it looked like an upside-down U. I got the plant into it's new pot and staked it as best I could to correct it's position. Hopefully, it does well like the rest of the plants. The root system was good and the rest of the plant seemed healthy, so that's why I'm giving 4 stars this time.

Poblano Hot Pepper

As ALWAYS, GrowJoy delivered the most beautiful healthy plants to my doorstep. An added bonus were free packets of worm castings to give my plants an extra boost when I transplanted them. I buy all my veggie plants from GrowJoy...love them!

Poblano Hot Pepper Plant

Grew large and meaty. They are in the fair to mild heat range. Holds up to storing in the deep freezer for adding to recipes over the winter.

Poblano Hot Pepper

I am very happy with everyone of my Poblano's. They were listed as "hot" when they arrived and not when I ordered them. They were not hot. That was good, didn't want hot. As of end of Sept. lots of peppers & more growing! They're great!

From Randy | September 28, 2012


Poblano Pepper Plants

Very fast delivery. Plants were healthy and well package. They are currently growing very well. Couldn't find Poblano pepper plants anywhere in stores. GrowJoy came to the rescue!

From Richard | July 11, 2012


Beautiful Poblanos

The plants were packaged great, in great health, and took quickly to their new home! I had a pepper within days of planting, with others on the way.

From Lenore | July 07, 2012


A little spindly

Poblano Pepper plants arrived in good condition but are very tall and spindly, like they were crowded and reaching for the light while growing. They appear to be healthy, though, so I'm hoping they'll bush out nicely and produce.
