A Pepper to Crow About

This sweet red pepper lives up to its promise. The sturdy, stocky plants with abundant leaf cover protect peppers from leaf scald, and each pepper is a perfectly meaty, juicy, crunchy and wonderfully sweet treat. Great for roasting on the grill! The roasted peppers freeze well for using throughout the year and adding to pizzas and pasta or just slicing to have with cheese, crackers and pesto. Makes a marvelous coulis, when blended with a little olive oil and a squeeze of lemon!

In over twenty years of gardening and trying many varieties of large and small sweet peppers, I have finally found a keeper. No more searching! Stocky Red Rooster is the best, most consistently productive, reliable sweet pepper you can hope to grow!
