No antipasto platter is complete without them. Italian Pepperoncini — also known as Friggitello in Southern Italy — are the small, wrinkled, mildly tangy peppers that have graced Mediterranean tables for centuries. Harvested young and green, they carry a gentle, almost sweet heat that disappears entirely in the brine, leaving behind a bright, tangy flavor that cuts through rich cheeses, cured meats, and olive oil with effortless grace.
Prolific and easy to grow, Pepperoncini plants produce abundantly through the season, delivering wave after wave of 2–3 inch fruits that are equally delicious pickled, fried whole in olive oil, or eaten fresh straight from the vine.
Start indoors 8–10 weeks before last frost. Sow seeds ¼ inch deep in fertile, well-draining soil. Transplant outdoors after all frost danger has passed, spacing plants 18 inches apart in full sun. Water consistently. Harvest green at 65–70 days for pickling, or allow to ripen fully to red for a sweeter flavor.

Seller is pleasant and shipment was swiftly excited to plant and see the outcome ty
Thank you very much! they look great and arrived in good condition!
The seeds arrived around the estimated time of arrival. They were well packaged and looked good. I planted a few 3 days ago and I've already got sprouts.
I hope these flowers will grow in North Dakota! The colors are vibrant and hopefully the bees will like them. I will have to wait until after the Big Thaw in April before I can plant them - can't wait!
