Peppers mature from deep green to dark red, developing fuller, sweeter flavour as they ripen. Thick-walled and easy to peel when roasted, Baron is prized for its kitchen versatility and consistently high yields.

A reliable, early–maturing ancho pepper that delivers outstanding flavour, gentle heat, and beautiful large fruit.

Planting Instructions
Start seed indoors 6-8 weeks before transplanting out to the garden. Cover seeds with 1/4 in. of soil. Firm soil over seed. Keep moist but not waterlogged. To germinate maintain a soil temperature of 22°C. Seed should germinate in 10-14 days. Once seeds have sprouted, 14-16 hours of light per day is essential. Once plants have reached 5 in. transplant to 3 in. peat pots. Plants will develop better with a growing temperature of 17°C until transplanting out. 

Pro Tip: Fertilize weekly with Liquid Seaweed Fertilizer for strong root development. Do not transplant out till night temperatures are warm.
