Capsicum, Sweet Pepper 'Marconi' Organic Heirloom

Description

A delicious sweet, Italian-style pepper used for roasting and frying. Fruits are 6 to 8″ long and go from green to red at maturity. Use wherever red bell peppers are called for, or sear over the high heat of a summer barbecue.

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. Peppers may be harvested when they reach mature green size, about 5-8″ long, or wait for them to mature to a bright red color with a sweeter flavor.
