It looks fiery hot, but the new 'Carmen' Pepper (Capsicum annuum) is actually an improved sweet pepper of the "Italian bull's-horn type," so called for its elongated shape. This pepper is sweet even when immature or green, but sweetest when it is ripe red. The plant is highly adaptable, setting fruit over a wide temperature range. It grows upright to 30 inches tall and 16 inches wide and does beautifully  in containers, where it is especially attractive when mixed with trailing annuals that can spill over the edge.
