How hot are Pepperoncini peppers?
Pepperoncini are very mild, only about 100-500 Scoville units. They are more tangy and sweet than spicy, which is why they are so popular pickled.
Are Pepperoncini the ones on Greek salads?
Yes, these are the classic wrinkled, light-green peppers pickled for Greek and Italian salads, sandwiches and antipasto. Pick them young and green for pickling.
When should I start Pepperoncini seeds?
Sow indoors 8-10 weeks before last frost, 1/4 inch deep in warm soil near 80F. Transplant outside after frost when nights are warm.
How long until Pepperoncini are ready?
They mature in about 70-75 days from transplant, harvested young and green for the best pickling texture. Plants keep producing with frequent picking.
What conditions do they prefer?
Grow in full sun with plants 18-24 inches apart in warm, well-drained soil. They do well in beds or containers in USDA zones 4-11 as summer annuals.
How many seeds are in the packet?
Each packet contains about 50 Pepperoncini seeds. They are heirloom, non-GMO and ideal for home pickling.
