Seed Count

The Stocky Red Italian Rooster Pepper is a classic heirloom Capsicum annuum variety prized for its excellent roasting quality and sweet flavor. The plant produces abundant, elongated fruits about 6–7 inches long with smooth, straight sides and thick walls. Peppers ripen from green to a deep, glossy red and grow on sturdy, leafy plants that typically reach 2–3 feet tall, offering good sun protection for the fruit.

This is a completely sweet pepper with no heat, making it ideal for a wide range of culinary uses. Its thick, juicy flesh delivers a rich, mildly fruity sweetness and a crisp texture when fresh. When roasted, the skin peels easily, and the flavor becomes even sweeter and more complex. It is especially well suited for roasting, grilling, frying, stuffing, or slicing fresh into salads.

PEPPERS

The many varieties of sweet and hot peppers thrive on full sun and warm weather. Cold temperatures can weaken pepper plants and they may never fully recover, so don’t rush to plant in the spring. Be certain to use the black side of the mulch covers to speed soil warming and early growth, but be careful, as they can also overheat the plants in certain climates. Peppers can be temperamental if temperatures are too hot or too cool. Nighttime temperatures below 60°F or above 75°F can reduce fruit set. Peppers need a steady supply of water for their best performance, so be sure to check water levels each day. Like tomatoes, you may find blossom end rot on your peppers, which can be easily corrected. Peppers are prone to sun scald, so moving them to partial shade can help if temperatures become too hot. Sweet peppers can be cut up and eaten raw, roasted and marinated, sauteed; or used in stews, soups, and stir fry. Hot peppers can be pickled, added to stew, used in stir fry, and are excellent when dried and ground to be used as a seasoning to give nearly any dish a little kick.
