I enjoyed Giant Marconi but by the middle of the season here the plants were huge. I'm talking really huge. I had to set up supports for them which was a bit of trouble otherwise the long stems would get over weighted with the peppers and bend down and frequently break. They frequently got too tall to even pick many of the peppers and they are super productive down here in our long hot summers. I found they needed far less care than bell peppers and were far more resistant to the common pepper diseases; but they did require a bit more fertilizer to maintain that great production. I personally prefer a good bell pepper but that is just me. I can't think of another pepper that will provide you with more pounds of pepper than Giant Marconi.
