Pepper - Sweet - Marconi Gold
The Pepper Sweet Italian Marconi Golden, 'Capsicum annuum', is a pepper that many believe is more flavorful and is superior to traditional bell peppers. The Marconi Golden is a traditional Italian sweet pepper. The Italian Marconi turns from green to yellow and either color is very tasty. These peppers grow about 1 foot long by 3 inches wide. The Golden Marconis are particularly good fried or roasted, something done quite frequently in Italy. Transplant outside in the spring 3 to 4 weeks after last frost date. Note: To get a jump on the season transplant outside, use a walls-of-water or some black plastic to maintain and increase temperatures. Pinch off early flowers to encourage plant growth. Plant in average garden soil with sufficient organic matter. Peppers use quite a bit of water but prefer to be watered deeply and not too often. Blossom pruning will improve fruit size. Pinch off about 50% of the flowers. ... additional info
