The listing, Heirloom Pepper ✽ PEPPERONCINI ✽ 10 Seeds ✽ Organic has ended.

An Italian HEIRLOOM, bushy and vigorous plants yield abundant quantities of slender 5" sweet green peppers that turn red and become even sweeter. The rich taste is like a sun-dried tomato with a hint of warmth. Pepperoncini is wonderful for eating fresh, chopped in salads, served with dips or breads, or pickled when they are still green. We grow these instead of bell peppers because they are earlier and more reliable. Very disease resistant and drought tolerant.
