Description

At the turn of the 20th century, Italian immigrants from Belsito Calabria, in southern Italy, brought this superb heirloom frying pepper to the Chicago suburb of Melrose Park. The 4-inch fruit turns brilliant red and starts producing very early, with flavor that is rich, flavorful, and very sweet. Great fried or fresh, a true Italian treasure. We have had many requests for this pepper.

Growing Tips

Start indoors in bright light 8-12 weeks before last frost date. Heat mat helps to warm soil and speed germination. Peppers often appreciate a bit of afternoon shade during the hottest summer weather.
