Pepper Specialty Sweet Marconi Red is an impressive heirloom variety that delivers both impressive size and exceptional flavor to your garden. These magnificent peppers grow nearly 8 inches long with thick, substantial walls that make them a joy to cook with. The juicy, rich flesh develops wonderful complexity as the fruit matures, starting with pleasant sweetness at the green stage and reaching peak flavor when fully ripened to a deep, glossy red. What makes Marconi Red truly special is its versatility in the kitchen. The thick walls are perfect for roasting until the skin blisters and chars, grilling for smoky depth, or stuffing with your favorite fillings. The natural sweetness shines beautifully in fresh applications too—toss them into salads, stir-fries, and fajitas, or simmer them into traditional Italian sauces where their authentic depth elevates every dish. These late-maturing plants demonstrate reliable, consistent performance across most growing conditions, producing abundant yields throughout the season. You'll be harvesting these premium peppers in approximately 75 days, with seeds offering an impressive 80% or better germination rate for confident planting. The plants reward patient gardeners with generous productivity, ensuring you have plenty of peppers for fresh eating, cooking, and preserving. Our Non-GMO heirloom seeds are sustainably cultivated and arrive in environmentally conscious, reusable packaging that reflects our commitment to responsible gardening practices and your long-term success.
