The Jimmy Nardellos is a s\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eweet Italian frying pepper with a long history. Originally from Basilicata, a southern region of Italy, this pepper seed was brought to Connecticut in the late 1800s by the Nardello family and saved for years by their son Jimmy who passed the seed along in the early 1980s. Over 120 years later it has become a favorite of home gardeners and chefs for its rich, complex fruity flavor and history. The Jimmy Nardellos is easy to grow, throwing out loads of peppers that turn bright red. Historically, they were also dried by threading them through the stems and hung up for use during the winter.           \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e20 seeds  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #65b742;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePLANTING\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eCaspsicum annuum\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGermination:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e 10-14 days\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGermination Temperature:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e Optimum soil temperatures 75-85ºF.
