72 days - This Italian heirloom produces prolific yields of thin, yellowish-green fruit that are traditionally pickled but can be enjoyed raw. 'Italian Pepperoncini' peppers grow two to four inches long and stay sweet for a long time.

Harvest fruit when green, yellow, or even at the red, mature stage. The picture above is an example of a maturing fruit.

Color: Yellow
Color: Green
Genetic Classification: Open Pollinated

Sow seeds in sterile potting mix, eight weeks prior to your last expected frost date. Plant seeds at a depth equal to two times their thickness. The optimum soil temperature is 80°F. Germination can be erratic. The most common cause of poor germination is the result of uneven planting depths.

Transplant only after night temperatures average above 55°F. Plants are tender and thrive in warm weather. Blossoms drop if temperatures fall below 60°F or if they get too much nitrogen.

★★★★☆ Great Tasting Pepper
By David Geier (San Diego, CA) on August 16, 2024

I purchased a purple bell pepper and got these instead, but they still turned out to be a good pepper. Flavorful either in a salad or in fresh salsa. They are medium hot, but still tolerable to the taste. One item of note: The plants have a tendency to want to grow horizontal and spread out. I had to stake these up to keep them off the ground. However they are a massive producer. Once the fruits start to grow and reach maturity, they ripen very fast so you will need to keep them picked frequently.

★★★★★ Great for pickling
By Joe DeMeo on March 7, 2014

Once these plants started producing I got really excited because the plants were just LOADED. I was able to pick an entire plant at once and pickled them. The plants then grew tons more! I'll be growing twice as much this year so that I can pickle for gifts. They were amazing!
