Meet the legendary Chicago pepper, a true taste sensation! Brought to Melrose Park by Italian immigrants from Belsito Calabria in the early 20th century, this heirloom frying pepper turns a vibrant red and starts producing early. With its rich, sweet flavor, it’s perfect for frying or enjoying fresh. A cherished Italian treasure that’s been in high demand! 70-80 days from transplant. Image courtesy of Baker Creek.
Care: Plant 18-24″ apart in rows 24-30″ apart in full sun. Keep soil uniformly moist (but not waterlogged) for best production.
