$2.59

Marconi Rosso is a large, tapering Sweet pepper that tastes very good when eaten green and tastes super sweet when red. Widely used in Italian cooking, delicious grilled with a bit of olive oil. Strong upright plants reach about 30″ (76cm) and produce peppers 6-8″ (15-20cm) long.

Approximately 40 seeds per packet.

Availability: 67 in stock

SOWING: For best results, sow indoors 8-10 weeks before last spring frost. Set transplants in the garden after the last frost. Can also be direct grown after soil warms.

THINNING: When seedlings are about 2 inches high, carefully cut weaker plants leaving strongest single plant per pot.

TRANSPLANTING AND SPACING: Harden off young plants and plant outdoors after weather has warmed markedly and all danger of frost and cold weather has passed. Plant 18-24 inches apart.

GERMINATION: 2 to 3 weeks at 65 to 70 F. Keep soil moderately moist.

Ed’s Special Advice: Plant peppers in sunny, well drained spot in the garden. Cover with hot-caps when young if cool nights are expected. Feed lightly with vegetable food every 4 weeks. Carefully cut off short piece of stem with fruit to avoid damaging plant.

SEED SAVING: To remove chance of cross-pollination, grow pepper varieties at least 400 ft. apart. Remove seeds from fully ripe pepper, using gloves for hot pepper varieties. Let seeds completely air dry for at least a week in a ventilated space. Store in cool, dry place in sealed container.

    I’ve grown this variety for 3 years. Good germination and produces an abundant crop of thick walled, large sweet peppers.
