The green Pablano is stuffed with cheese or meat for chilies rellenos and the dark, reddish-brown dried Ancho is used in a variety of sauces such as the traditional mole pablano.Transplant outside in the spring 3 to 4 weeks after last frost date.

Peppers use quite a bit of water but prefer to be watered deeply and not too often. Harvest when 3.5 inches long and 2 inches wide and when the peppers are a dark green.
