calabrian peppers seeds

wingman · February 14, 2015

I'm looking for seeds to grow my own Calabria peppers for pizza. Can anyone point me toward a source for seeds?

What you are looking for is red pepperoncini peppers.
The name Calabria is the region from which they are grown.
It is down in the boot of Italy.
You simply let the peppers trun red and they will become hotter.
Her is but one place you can get them.

First, Welcome to Tomatoville wingman

Worth, that's interesting to find out, Italy. Kind of like/sort of where I grow.

Wingman,

Reading your post picked up my interest as my wife's grandparents were from that region in Italy. Below is another source of possibly what you are looking for. I grew the "devils kiss" pepper one year which is also grown in that area and it was quite hot.

Thank you pondGardener and Worth 1.
It looks like the Devil's Kiss.
I've got Janie at ChilePlants.com looking too.
