- Support & Care: Use light stakes or cages to support plants as they grow and bear heavy fruit.

Harvest Jimmy Nardello peppers when they are fully grown and ripened to a deep red color. Use them fresh for their sweet flavor or cook them to release their natural smokiness. They’re perfect for frying, grilling, or preserving through drying or freezing.
