This Italian heirloom was brought to America by the Nardello family in 1887, and named for the most garden-devoted of their 11 children, Jimmy. The 6"-12" peppers have an exceptionally sweet, rich flavor, making them the quintessential Italian frying pepper. Delicious in chili and salsa, or dried and ground for paprika. Prolific plants grow well in most areas.

Jimmy Nardello Peppers

5 out of 5 stars Jul 31, 2020
This summer I'm growing about 10 varieties of peppers, and my Jimmy Nardellos are the healthiest and most productive of the lot. I've never grown them before, but have heard other gardeners I trust recommend them so I wanted to give them a try. All the fruits are still green so I'm looking forward to seeing them ripen and tasting them for myself. I am happy with how well they're growing!

I ordered these seeds before you shut down but then you substituted another product which I didn't want. I didn't find the substitution acceptable. I would have rather have not received something I didn't want.

1st year growing. Zone 6B. Excellent germination and first to ripen. So many peppers on each plant! Used them in sauce, stir fries and salad.
