The Marconi Red Pepper is a classic Italian heirloom prized for its heavy yields of 8–12-inch-long sweet red peppers. Commonly used for frying, roasting, and slicing, the Marconi p epper boasts a rich sweetness and smooth texture that make it one of the most popular red sweet peppers for home gardens. Sturdy plants produce abundant crops of glossy green fruit that mature into beautiful long red peppers with exceptional flavor. Use them in salads, for stuffing, or anywhere you might use a bell pepper—these long sweet peppers are as versatile as they are striking. Marconi Red’s large peppers grow every bit as impressively as the hybrid Giant Marconi (at least in our hands). Unlike its hybrid counterpart, however, this heirloom will produce seeds that breed true each generation, ensuring you’ll enjoy these sweet red long peppers for years to come. Matures approximately 70 to 90 days after transplanting. Each packet contains a minimum of 25 seeds. Show more
