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. AAS winner. USDA Certified Organic.
Use 1 Seed per Hole for Tower Farms.
Fruiting Crops require a longer time to mature (2 – 4 months based on variety), but they give an abundance of fruits for a long time once they mature. It is highly recommended not to grow more than 1 type of fruiting crop per tower.
Plant only a maximum of 2-4 plants of Pepper per Tower, and only 2 plants per Tower Pot.
While peppers usually do not require manual pollination, once the flowers start coming out, it is recommended you gently shake your pepper plants every couple of days to help distrbute the pollinators.
