Italian Pepperoncini are the classic Mediterranean table pepper—slim, gently wrinkled pods with mild heat, bright tang, and just enough sweetness to keep you reaching for one more. Fresh off the plant they’re snappy and juicy, with thin, tender skins that soak up brine beautifully for pickled rings, antipasto plates, Greek salads, and sandwich toppers. Harvested green, they bring that familiar pizzeria-style zing; left to blush golden or red, they develop a softer, sweeter depth of flavor. Vigorous, heavy-bearing plants load up with handfuls of peppers at a time, giving you plenty to enjoy fresh, pack into jars, and set aside as a true pantry staple.

How to Grow

Start seed indoors 6-8 weeks before last frost. A heat mat helps to speed up the germination process. Optimum soil temperature for seed germination is 65-85 degrees. Peppers generally have long growing seasons and grow slowly during cool temperatures. Delay transplanting until your soil has thoroughly warmed up in the spring. A week before transplanting time, harden off plants by exposing them to an increasing number of hours outdoors each day. Peppers are less cold tolerant than tomatoes.
