Sweet Pepper - Escamillo (F1) Young Plant

Delicious yellow Italian frying pepper.

The golden-yellow counterpart to lovely 'Carmen' and a refined take on the popular Corno di Toro (or "Bull's Horn") pepper class. Bred by Johnny's and named for Carmen's love interest in the French opera: the bullfighter Escamillo. Intoxicating sweetness any way it is prepared, but traditionally used for frying. Broad-shouldered with an attractive taper. Fruits avg. 6" long x 2-2 1/2" wide

Young Plant 5-10" tall

Days to Maturity: 60 green; 80 red ripe

Suggestions: Peppers need a warm soil and night temperature to prosper. They will stunt under 10C. Location should be sheltered from the wind and soil should be kept reasonably moist. Be sure to harden off the seedlings to reduce transplant stress. Harvest fruit early and often. The more you pick the more they will produce. Do not pull off fruit, rather cut from stems.

Pot size: Minimum 12" per plant or plant in ground 12" away from next plant.
