If you haven't heard of Jimmy Nardello Pepper Plants, you're missing out on an unbelievably delicious heirloom treat with a rich history. These sweet pepper plants have been quietly growing in gardens across America ever since the Nardello family brought seeds over from Italy in 1887. You can read more about the story in our Jimmy Nardello Pepper Spotlight post, but the main takeaway is that once the word got out about how good these peppers taste, the seeds were placed in the "Ark of Taste" to preserve and protect them.

Now you can get a headstart on growing and eating these delicious sweet red peppers with our 2 to 4-month old live Jimmy Nardello seedlings for sale, ready to ship directly to your doorstep. You can expect plants to grow low and wide, about 2 feet off the ground and 2 feet wide. If you can, we suggest staking these plants, especially since the long fruit can reach up to 10 inches in length!

WARNING: Plants adjust to small, gradual changes in their environment better than sudden shifts, which is what the hardening off process is all about. Just as you get burned when you bare your untanned skin to the sun, leaves of plants started indoors will develop pale, sunburned patches if they are suddenly exposed to too much sun. The story has a happier ending when you introduce seedlings to bright light and sheltered breezes gradually, over a period of one to three weeks. Read more information on how to harden off and transplant pepper plants in 6 steps.
