Jimmy Nardello Pepper Seeds - A Sweet Heirloom Treasure

Discover the irresistible Jimmy Nardello Pepper Seeds, a beloved heirloom variety cherished for its uncanny sweetness and fruity flavor. Perfect for snacking straight off the plant or frying in traditional Italian dishes, these slender 8”-10” peppers transition from green to a vibrant red as they ripen. With a low-growing, disease-resistant plant that reaches 20”-24" and produces abundantly all season, you’ll enjoy a bountiful harvest of these delectable peppers.

Why Choose Jimmy Nardello Pepper Seeds?

Brought from Italy to the U.S. by Giuseppe Nardello in 1887, this heirloom, open-pollinated variety has been passed down through generations for its exceptional flavor and reliability. The sweet, heat-free peppers (Scoville: None) are a favorite among gardeners and chefs alike. Each packet contains 10 heirloom seeds, ensuring a pure and organic growing experience.

Easy to Grow & Highly Productive

Start your Jimmy Nardello Pepper Seeds indoors 8 weeks before the last frost. Plant them in sterile media, cover lightly (1/4” deep), and maintain 85°F bottom heat with bright light. Seeds typically germinate in 7-21 days. Once seedlings develop 6 true leaves, transplant them into rich soil (30” apart) or large 5-gallon containers. These hardy plants thrive in well-drained soil and reward you with loads of peppers all season long.

Perfect for Fresh Eating or Cooking

Enjoy these peppers raw for a crisp, sweet snack or fry them to bring out their rich, caramelized flavor - just like in traditional Italian cuisine. Their versatility and outstanding taste make them a must-have for any garden or kitchen.

Prolific and super sweet

I've been growing Jimmys for years. I love the super sweet, rich flavor for frying and roasting. I ordered my seeds from Sandia this year and they were so much more prolific! I love Sandia seeds!

Sweet and Tasty Peppers

We grew these last year in our garden, and the plants were prolific for most of the summer, we ate them right off the plant. They're also great stir fried. We'll grow Jimmy Nardello seeds for our garden from now on.
