Description
Reviews

The pepper variety ‘Marconi Rosso’ is a traditional Italian variety with tapering, bright red fruits. These are approx. 15-20 cm long, thin-skinned and with little chambers.

It’s best to already harvest them in the transition stage to ripeness. Then, you get crispy and aromatic pods with an extraordinary flavour.

This old, Italian variety is very fertile. In the kitchen, the pepper pods are especially suitable for roasting, grilling and pickling. Therefore, it’s a good variety for antipasti.

Prick the plants 2-3 weeks after sowing when the first pair of leaves has fully developed. While doing this, the roots should be shortened to encourage their healthy growth.
Sowing from mid-May until the beginning of June after the last night frosts. Before, the plants should be hardened for several days. Don’t forget to water them.
Peppers need well-loosened, porous soils with a large amount of hummus. They dislike waterlogging but should never dry up completely.
Pepper plants love the warmth and prosper best in the greenhouse. That doesn’t mean that it’s impossible to let them grow outdoors. Nevertheless, choose the warmest and best-protected place in your garden to breed peppers or think of protection fleece if needed.
Peppers are heavy feeders. They need sufficiently good fertilizer and very much water indeed
