Red Marconi is an open pollinated variety, Giant Marconi is a hybrid. Ferry Morse vends the Red Marconi http://www.plantationproducts.com/catalog/cfProduct_Detail.cfm?p=2234

mine never grew that big/long, nor were they prolific. I figure it was because it was a poor pepper year in general, so am giving them another shot. did NOT get the seed from FM, but got it from another source …

ferry say they can be yellow too. seems odd on the same plant as green/red.. unless they are mixed in the packed (yellow and red).

thanks all.

They are excellent, red and yellow. We sell tons of them at the Farm, and everyone likes them. During the early part of the season, we sell them green.

Marconi's are one of my favorite sweets and I have good yields. Red's and Golden's seem to produce more than the purple for me though.
