Melrose is an Italian heirloom that produces early yields of 4-inch-long peppers with glossy, bright red skins and sweet flesh. Originating from Italy, the Melrose pepper was broug ht to the United States in 1903 by Italian immigrants who settled in the Melrose Park neighborhood of Chicago. The beloved Italian frying pepper has maintained its popularity for over 100 years owing to its thin skins and earthy, sweet flavor. Melrose's early maturing plants produce green peppers in just 55 days and red peppers in 70-75 days, making it a great option for short season gardens. Each packet contains a minimum of 25 seeds.
