Pepper - Marconi Red - Capsicum annuum

Tender Annual Heirloom. This sweet red pepper from Italy has somewhat elongated fruit up to 12" long and 3" across at the shoulders. Ideal for frying and tasty green as well as red. An early variety known for its high yields.

Did You Know? Sweet peppers are loaded with vitamins C and A. Red peppers contain twice the vitamin C and eleven times the beta carotene of green peppers.

Soil & Water: Peppers require deeply-worked, well-drained soil with plenty of added organic matter and a pH of 6.0-6.8. Water deeply, but don't over water.
