Jimmy Nardello Pepper

Pick-up only at our retail nursery 5311 Scotts Valley Dr, Scotts Valley, CA during the week of March 21-28.

An almost uncanny sweet, fruity flavor makes these peppers tempting and delightful eaten straight off the plant, but traditional Italian cuisine typically uses them for frying. The long, slender fruit will easily reach 6–9 inches starting green and ripening to red. We recommend at least 3 plants to give you enough ripe peppers at any given time for a frying panful. Jimmy Nardello may benefit from having their tops pinched to produce more fruit. Give it a try on half your Jimmys and see for yourself. Check out this Youtube video for more info on pinching peppers.

Plants are in 3" containers and are usually about 6" tall.
