Mountain Valley Seed Company Jimmy Nardello Pepper Seed

Yes, these peppers grow to about 24 inches tall, making them compact enough for large containers or pots, provided they receive full sun and consistent moisture.

You can expect to harvest these peppers approximately 90 days after transplanting into your garden.

Yes, because these are an open-pollinated heirloom variety, you can save the seeds from your mature peppers to replant in future seasons, and they will grow true to type.

While they are edible earlier, Jimmy Nardello peppers develop their signature sweet, complex flavor profile when allowed to ripen fully to a deep, vibrant red on the plant.

Their thin walls make them ideal for frying, roasting, or grilling, as they soften quickly and develop a rich, sweet flavor. They are also excellent for drying and grinding into a flavorful paprika.

Because they have a 90-day maturity window, it is best to start these seeds indoors several weeks before your last frost date to ensure a productive harvest before the season ends.
