Stocky Red Rooster Pepper Seeds - A Vibrant Heirloom Delight

Discover the Stocky Red Rooster Pepper Seeds, a robust open-pollinated (OP) heirloom that delivers the same exceptional qualities as hybrid Italian fryer peppers with the added benefit of seed-saving for future seasons. This sweet pepper is a garden favorite, producing 4-6" long, glossy red fruits with a crisp, juicy bite. Perfect for roasting, frying, or fresh eating!

Why Grow Stocky Red Rooster Peppers?

This highly productive plant grows up to 3’ tall with a lush leafy canopy, shielding peppers from sun-scald while ensuring a bountiful harvest. Fruits mature from green to a dazzling vibrant red, offering a sweet, non-spicy flavor (Scoville: None). As an open-pollinated heirloom, you can save seeds from your healthiest plants year after year.

Key Features:

  • Heirloom & Open-Pollinated: Save seeds reliably for future planting.
  • Sweet & Versatile: Ideal for frying, roasting, or fresh salads.
  • Sun-Scald Resistant: Leafy canopy protects developing fruit.
  • GMO-Free: Certified non-GMO seeds for organic gardening.

Growing Tips:

Start seeds indoors 8 weeks before the last frost, using sterile media and 85°F bottom heat for optimal germination (7–14 days). Transplant seedlings with 6 true leaves into nutrient-rich soil, spacing 36" apart. Harvest when peppers turn a deep, glossy red. 102 days to maturity.

Packet contains 10 seeds. Plant these Stocky Red Rooster Pepper Seeds and enjoy a reliable, flavorful harvest season after season!
