An Italian heirloom sweet pepper that produces large 7-8” long fruits. The giant peppers have a smoky-sweet flavor and thin skin. They mature from green to red and grow on productive 30“ plants. Grows well in containers.
Marconi's have peak flavor when their color turns to a rich, bright red. They taste fantastic fresh off the plant and look great in salads. Other delicious ways to enjoy this pepper include frying, stuffing or grilling it. Our favorite is using them for Fajitas.
Germination Tip: Start indoors 8 weeks before transplant date, sow 1/4” deep. Keep soil moist with bright light & bottom heat. Germination: 7-14 days. Learn more at www.sandiaseed.com/grow
