3 more of my Marconi purple have popped up...But if they grow is slowly I don't think I will be seeing any peppers is year .

[Shaydee]

Mine didn't pop up last year until it was nearly winter, then they died because of the cold
I think they are just slow growers that require a good amount of heat .

Two of my Marconi Purples



Feeling pleased with them now.

I sowed my usual 4 types of "sweet peppers": Amanda Wax, King of the North, California Wonder and Corno Del Torro Rosso (my favourite) full germination and are romping away. I tried Red Marconi on a whim, sown same time as the rest and one seedling germinated this week (two months in a heated propagator) while the other varieties will be ready for final planting in the next couple of weeks. Needless to say I won't be bothering with Marconi again.

2 months!!! Mine would be long gone by then - I don't have the patience... or the space!

Looking fab! I never managed to get any of the purples to germinate so you're doing better than me!
