Pepper Specialty Jimmy Nardello Italian is a treasured heirloom with genuine history—this authentic Italian variety was brought to America in 1887 and has been cherished by gardeners ever since for its exceptional flavor and versatility. These long, elegant peppers feature thin walls that make them ideal for a variety of culinary techniques: blister them quickly in a hot cast iron skillet for a delicious summer treat, roast them until charred, grill them for smoky depth, or fry them until tender. As they mature, the peppers ripen to a stunning deep red, revealing their rich, naturally sweet flavor that sets them apart from other pepper varieties. Home cooks and market growers alike appreciate their quality—they're excellent fresh, retain their character beautifully when canned, and can even be dried into a flavorful powder for year-round use. The thin-walled structure that makes them so perfect for cooking also means they're wonderfully prolific producers, rewarding you with abundant harvests. Ready to pick in approximately 80 days, these seeds offer an impressive 80% or higher germination rate for reliable success. Our Non-GMO heirloom seeds arrive in sustainable, eco-friendly, reusable packaging that honors both your garden and the environment, connecting you to generations of gardening tradition.
