Care instructions
The perfect sweet pepper for growing in pots or raised beds. Like our other popular marconi peppers, but these are produced on compact plants that are perfect for limited spaces. Ripe fruit are a glowing red and have that sugary-sweetness that you just love about marconi peppers. Productive and easy to grow.

Start seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before last frost date of spring. Surface-sow or barely cover the seeds, which benefit from light to hurry germination. Keep the seed-tray in warm conditions, but do not allow to dry out. When sprouts appear, move to a sunny window or glow light. Set out well-developed transplants after last frost date when weather is warm. Peppers need rich soil. Peppers may be used green or ripe.
