Pepper Carmen Hybrid - Packet (25 seeds)
"Both early maturing and extremely productive in a wide range of temperatures, 'Carmen' also exudes traditional Italian sweet pepper taste. The compact 28"" tall plants yield abundant horn-shaped fruits so characteristic of grilled and sauteed peppers throughout the Mediterranean. As they mature from green to red they get even sweeter, making them an excellent choice for fresh salads or cooked dishes. An updated version of the classic Italian pepper.

Top Pepper
Reviewed On:December 20, 2009
"I have grown these peppers the past two seasons. I live in coastal SC and can start them early. The plant is compact and very sturdy. I grow them in large pots. The peppers are early to set and as I write this the week before Christmas I am still harvesting peppers (11 yesterday) and have about 20 newly set peppers about the size of a pencil eraser I'm hoping will grow to maturity. I just moved the plant inside to protect it from the first frost coming this week, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. The flavor of these peppers is outstanding. We use them fresh in salads and just to munch, but my favorite is in Philly cheese steaks and in fajitas. They are also great chopped up in eggs. Very complex pepper flavor, never bitter or overpowering. This pepper will always be in my garden!"

Still producing and still tastes great.

"What a great roasting pepper. Heck it was great for eating raw too, very crisp and sweet, fairly thick walled. It is a great pepper hands down. It was easy to grow and productive (still getting peppers in Ohio in mid-Sept) even though it did not get great spots in my garden. It will next year. This is really an extra sweet pepper and I will definitely grow it again next year. I think it is as sweet as I have had. Not a huge plant, I really believe this may be perfect for containers and will give that a shot next year too."

Lots of Peppers per plant
Reviewed On:January 10, 2007
"Peppers are easy to grow and this one is no exception. I got lots of good sized peppers on each plant, which ripen to a beautiful red in short time - even in bad soil. I live in Florida - lots of sandy soil - and these grow wonderfully in my garden, even in areas where I haven't amended the soil. Great flavor, too. These are great sauteed with onions and mushrooms and put over pasta. Use in any Italian dish. Not many seeds to clean out and rather thin flesh, these cook fast and have a pleasant, sweet taste."
