I bought a plant of this pepper last year at Lowe's and it had the best peppers and you would not believe the amount it gave. I gave many peppers to my neighbors as well as eating a lot myself. I decided that I would plant more than one plant this year but I knew that I would probably not find the plant so I bought the seed and I now have plants that are ready for me to transplant into my garden as soon as it is ready for me to plant. My neighbors want to know if I am growing more of this pepper and I said yes that I would probably harvest the first peppers mid June. The flavor of this pepper is so good and it is good in salads as well as frying with onions and sausages. This is a great producers of fruit and they are quite long and have a small seed cavity.
The Marconi sweet peppers are the best-producing sweet peppers I've ever grown! I was delighted with my first try at growing them from seed over summer this year, so I sought them out for next year's season and was glad to find them at Peaceful Valley. The packet artwork is adorable, and the seeds were mailed in good packaging and arrived on time. Can't wait for next summer!
Good producer
