A friend of mine grew 4 kinds of peppers from BC last year and 2 of them were not true. For instance, the poblano turned out to be a rather poorly growing small bell pepper.

This pretty much lines up with my experience too. Great variety but roll of the dice as to true to type and germination rates. I prefer to use other vendors that have better track record.
