Seed Savers Exchange - Lemme's Italian Sweet Pepper

Capsicum annuum. Vigorous, productive pepper plants bear heavy yields of glossy, sweet, red fruits throughout the growing season.

These slender, pointed peppers ripen from green to a brilliant red and average about 6" in length. Their thin skin and moderately sweet flavor make them an excellent pepper for frying and making dried pepper flakes. Fruits hold well on the plant and resist cracking.
