Here's another exciting variety from Casey Piscura and the folks at Wild Mountain Seeds in Carbondale, Colorado.
From Casey: "After years of refinement and selection we are proud to offer this amazing adaptable swarm of medium to large perfectly shaped thick-walled Italian Sweet Peppers. We set out to improve vigor by allowing a diverse cast of Italian sweets to flower together then selecting for productivity, growth in cold soil temperatures, strong plant stature, resistance to blossom end rot, thick foliage cover to resist sun scald, thick walls and great flavor. These peppers perform well in climates where sweet peppers traditionally struggle — while go gangbusters in warmer climates. We've compared with the farmer-favorite F1 hybrid Carmen and seen them outperform in both fruit quality and production. Enjoy uniform, delicious, early, beautiful Italian sweet peppers with these great seeds!"
