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.
