If you are a pickled pepper person, this Italian heirloom pepper is for you. Expect gratifyingly large crops of 5-6" long thin, slightly wrinkled peppers. At first, the peppers are a pleasing light green, and as the season progresses, their color shifts into bright red. Take your pick: you can harvest the sweet, thin-walled fruits in either the green or red stage, and you can enjoy them raw, pickled or cooked. Harvest about 75 days after transplant.
