Seeds–Marconi Red Heirloom 10 seeds

Red Marconi has a wonderful smoky-sweet flavor that becomes richer when grilled or roasted. They taste great fresh off the plant and look great in salads. Other tasty ways to enjoy this pepper include frying, stuffing, or grilling it. Our favorite way to use the big Red Marconi is in Fajitas!

This Italian sweet pepper is an heirloom and produces large 7-8″ long fruits. The giant peppers have a sweet earthy flavor and thin skin. They mature from green to red on the 30″ tall plant plants. Their flavor is best when peppers mature to bright red.
