Osborne Seed Company Jimmy Nardello Pepper Seeds

These peppers are famous for their sweet, complex flavor when fried. Simply pan-fry them in olive oil until they are blistered and tender, then finish with a pinch of sea salt. They are also excellent roasted or eaten fresh in salads.

You can expect to harvest your first peppers about 75 days after transplanting into your garden. Because the fruit holds well on the plant, you have a flexible window for picking them once they reach their full red color.

Yes, these are open-pollinated heirloom seeds. This means you can successfully save the seeds from your harvest to plant again the following season, and they will grow true to the parent plant.

Jimmy Nardello peppers are long and slender, typically reaching between 6 and 10 inches in length. They have a distinct, tapered shape that makes them easy to handle and quick to cook.

They are generally reliable and prolific, requiring the same standard care as most sweet peppers: full sun, consistent watering, and well-draining soil. Their main advantage is their productivity, so be prepared to harvest frequently throughout the season.
