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!

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!
