Carmen

Best-tasting Italian frying pepper. A high-performing rendition of the classic Corno di Toro (or “Bull’s Horn”) pepper popular in Italy. Early, adaptable, and notably sweet (especially when fully red-ripe) with a shapely tapered silhouette. Begins green, then deepens to a beautiful carmine at maturity. Excellent roasted, grilled, and in salads. We recommend pairing with our yellow Corno di Toro ‘Escamillo.’ Bred by Johnny’s and named for the gypsy Carmen from the French opera. Upright, medium-sized plant. Suitable for indoor and outdoor growing. Fruits avg. 6″ long x 2 1/2″ wide. Avg. weight 5 oz. Text and picture from Johnny’s Seed.
