Capsicum, Pepper Sweet 'Pepperoncini Italian'
- Sun Preference
- Full-Sun
Description
This is a high-yielding variety and produces an abundance of sweet, yet tangy peppers. Peppers are harvested at 2-3″ in length and are great for pickling.
Unless you live in a year-round warm climate, start seeds indoors eight to ten weeks before last frost. Keep soil temperature warm (75-80°F) for best germination. Harden off young plants ten days before transplanting and plant outdoors in late spring. Harvest the first fruits early to encourage continued production through the season. Cut (don’t pull) the fruit from stems. Peppers are yellow and then turn to red as the sweet flavor intensifies.
