Jimmy Nardello Pepper - (Capsicum annuum) |
|
Jimmy Nardello Pepper or Jimmy Nardello's Sweet Italian Frying Pepper was brought from Ruoti, Italy by Giuseppe and Angela Nardiello family in 1887, and grown here ever since. Their son Jimmy continued the tradition and kept the treasured variety alive by saving seeds.
These cherished heirlooms have a very slightly spicy, smoky yet sweet and fruity flavor from their slender, tapering, wrinkled 6-10" long pods that turn from kelly green to a fire-engine red when they are ready for harvest. Plants are low growing, 24" tall.
65-75 Days
Approx 40 seeds per pack

Great pepper for cool summers |
| I have grown Jimmy Nardello for at least 3 summers now and get great flavor and productivity in our cool San Francisco Bay Area summers. Grows very well in containers, too - still get great yield in 14 inch containers. |
