If you love sweet, crunchy peppers in your antipasto or shish kabob, you'll adore Carmen Italian Sweet Pepper. A bull's horn variety (named for its elongated shape), it's deliciously sweet from the time the fruit forms. If you let the peppers mature until they're deep red, you'll experience an intensely sweet flavor. Carmen was created to bear fruit even in cooler growing conditions, making it a terrific choice for Northern gardens with short growing seasons. Everywhere else, it produces beautiful harvests all season long until frost arrives. It also works well in containers. Hybrid. Plant in full sun, 18 in. to 24 in. apart. Plant reaches 24 in. to 36 in. tall. Matures in 75-days to 80-days. Resists many diseases, including verticillium wilt (V), fusarium wilt (F), and tobacco mosaic virus (TMV). An All-America Selections Winner.
