AVAILABLE FOR LOCAL PICKUP ONLY
A delicious heirloom originally from Italy. Tender and sweet, thin skinned, 4" fruits, turn brilliant red and are produced very early. Flavor is good when harvested green, but becomes sweeter and more intense when allowed to mature. Great fresh, stuffed or fried. 55-75 days.
What you'll get:
A healthy seedling 6-8" tall, hardened off and ready for planting.
Peppers are very sensitive to cold temperatures. Do not plant unless we are past all threat of frost.
Peppers can root a bit above the soil line, so plant them just a little bit deeper than they are in their pots to encourage a robust root system that can help support your plant.
Peppers have a stiff, somewhat brittle main stem. They can become top heavy once full of fruit, so providing some support is recommended. All peppers will begin green and mature to yellow, orange, red, or purple, depending on the variety.
