Italian Pepperoncini Sweet Pepper- Organic

This pepper is delicious in  salads, pizzas and sandwiches. The pods are not very hot and color from yellow-green to yellow and finally red. This chili pepper grows well in a cooler climate. After repotting, the 7-10 cm long pods can be harvested after about 65 days. People prefer to eat these chilies in the yellow phase.

Planting & Growing: Start seeds indoors 8 weeks before the last frost. Direct seeding is not recommended. Stake to keep fruit off the ground and mulch for disease and weed control.
