Do you anxiously await summer's first peppers? You're in luck, because Bonnie Plants® Giant Marconi Pepper produces early--and often! An All-America Selection, the smoky-sweet flavor of this large Italian-type sweet pepper makes the perfect addition to your favorite recipes. The large, 8-inch-long fruit starts off green and matures to red, when its sweetness and hint of heat reach peak flavor. Delicious both raw and cooked, Giant Marconi Pepper is perfect for antipasto, grilling, roasting, or simply snacking. Dice it to use in salsa, slice it for salads, bake it in lasagna, or fill it with your favorite stuffing. While mostly mild and sweet, it can present a bit of heat, with a Scoville rating of 100 to 1,000. The compact plant grows beautifully in containers, raised beds, or in-ground gardens and resists tobacco mosaic virus and potato Y virus. Plant in full sun, 18-24 inches apart, and feed with Miracle-Gro® Plant Food. The plant grows 2.5-feet tall and matures in 62 days. Be sure to water your plant when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Bonnie Plants® live plant varieties are designed for your gardening success, whether they're disease-resistant, heat-tolerant, space-savers, or produce abundant harvests.
