Italian Pepperoncini Seeds
Italian Pepperoncini Seeds
Pickling Pepper Classic
The Italian Pepperoncini, also known as Tuscan Peppers, originates from Italy and belongs to the Capsicum annuum species. This cultivar doesn't have distinct subspecies but is highly esteemed for its culinary versatility and mild, tangy flavor.
The Italian Pepperoncini plant is visually striking, growing to a height of about 18-24 inches, with lush, deep green foliage and a bushy, compact form. The peppers themselves are small, typically 2-3 inches long, with a slight curvature, thin walls, and a vibrant green color that shifts to red upon maturity.
Known for their mild heat, ranging from 100 to 500 Scoville Heat Units, these peppers offer a delightful tangy taste rather than intense spiciness. Their versatile flavor profile makes them perfect for pickling, salads, sandwiches, and as a pizza topping.
When planting from seeds, provide a warm and consistent temperature of around 70-85°F (21-29°C) for successful germination. Start seeds indoors approximately 8-10 weeks before the last expected frost date. Once the seedlings have developed and the risk of frost has passed, transplant them into well-draining soil with full sun exposure.
Italian Pepperoncini plants thrive in fertile, well-draining soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH level, around 6.0 to 6.8. They also appreciate consistent moisture levels but avoid waterlogged conditions, as this may lead to root rot. Providing adequate support, like staking or caging, can help the plants as they produce an abundance of peppers. Overall, the Italian Pepperoncini is a popular choice among gardeners for its compact growth, flavorful peppers, and culinary versatility.

Planting & Care
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.
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.
Harvesting & Storage: Harvest the first fruits early to encourage continued production through the season. Cut (don't pull) the fruit from the stems.

from 9231 reviewsThe cute packaging caught my eye first. I love you can open it up sprinkle in the seeds you need to use, and then close it up for another time. It is compact and cute. I am eager to harvest my greens.
One of my favorites to grow…always get a good yield out of this one and the flavor is just…YUM!
I received these in August and they have braved the heat of the past 2 months. I have continued to water them to ensure they live. One tree looks much better than the other, although I see buds ready for next year on both. I can't wait for spring to see blooms, leaves and branches to begin.
huge bulbs made up of huge cloves; perfect quality for planting - very firm and paper in tact.
My order was prompt and just what I expected.
I purchased Elephant and Music garlic bulbs to plant in my zone 7 garden. They arrived as firm, healthy bulbs.
Heads were big with many large cloves. I am anticipating a great outcome in early summer 🧄
Our chickens love this forage.I was a little concerned growing this in south Florida however it is flourishing. Our new go to, thanks Peaceful Valley!
What a deal - top quality and only $20.99. Happy Frog is a premium brand.
I prepped my raised beds with Happy Frog Potting Soil. I love that it contains earthworms castings. Premium product!
Firm bulbs, excellent quality. I eagerly await the saffron harvest next Spring.
Lovely large bulbs, wonderful quality!
I planted a row of red chesnok. The color is stunning, excellent quality.
I just planted two rows of CA late white. Garlic bulbs look beautiful - great quality. Can't wait for harvest and for braiding time!
I have been ordering shallots from Grow Organic for a couple of years now. I had some problems with the shallots, I have to say they have the best customer service. I am a Master Gardener and have ordered 100's of different veggies seeds for years at many different companies as I buy seeds for the Master Garden's and never have experience such great customer service. I believe anything you buy from them you will be happy
