70-80 days—Marconi Red Pepper
Heirloom: Yes
Organic: Yes
The Marconi Red Pepper is a classic Italian heirloom that's sure to impress in any garden. These organic seeds produce peppers known for their long, slender shape, typically growing 6-8 inches in length. They start out green and mature to a beautiful deep red color, signaling they're ready for harvest.
Marconi peppers are prized for their sweet, mild flavor and crisp texture. They're versatile in the kitchen - perfect for grilling, roasting, or eating fresh in salads. Their thin walls make them ideal for frying, and they're a traditional choice for Italian "friggitelli" (fried peppers).
The plants are vigorous and productive, often reaching 24-30 inches tall. They're known for their ability to adapt to various climates, making them a good choice for gardeners across the U.S. In warmer regions, they can produce peppers well into the fall.
These peppers are not just tasty, but nutritious too. They're rich in vitamins A and C, making them a healthy addition to your diet.
To plant: Start seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost date. Transplant outdoors when soil has warmed and nighttime temperatures consistently stay above 55°F. Space plants 18-24 inches apart. Provide support like stakes or cages as the plants can get heavy with fruit. Water consistently and fertilize regularly for best yields.
Packet: 15 organic seeds
