Italian Pepperoncini Pepper

Sweet Italian Pepper

These are not true to type, in reference to the picture. Shorter, and wrinklier. Starts out green, turns dark green and red when ripe. Grows well in Georgia heat, but seems more prone to wilting in the afternoons. Pepper is quite sweet, has no heat. A nice Italian pepper, closer to the Friggitello variety. Still a five star choice for me.

Hardy Peppers

Transplants arrived healthy and packaged well. Transplanted into garden even though it was still cool in the mountains of NC. Plants are producing large peppers in the middle of July. I pickle them while still green. I would definitely recommend.

Won't buy again

I've bought these in the past, but the plant I received this time looked a little weak when it arrived. I put it in a well prepared bed, and it got plenty of water, foid, and sun. I had 6 other pepper starts that I planted at the same time, and those did really well! The pepperocini start suffered from the beginning. Nothing I could do helped it ( I've grown peppers many seasons...I tried everything). This little guy never had a chance. It's still in my bed, still about 3 inches tall. Never died, but never grew. Sigh.
