Marconi red is a very large two-lobed sweet pepper. The thick walled elongated blocky peppers grow up to 18cm (7in) long and have a crisp, super sweet flavour. They mature from green to a bright red on the plant in 70-90 days and are ideal for stuffing, roasting and salad toppings. Medium harvests can be expected from the Marconi plants which can reach 75cm (30in) high.[1]
