Rating for this plant:
Italian 'bull's horn' sweet peppers grow 8 to 10 inches long and curved like a bull's horn. Ripen to deep red or bright yellow and are delicious fresh in salads, but more often are sauted or grilled.
Sauteed in extra virgin olive oil they are a gourmet treat!
These are heirloom peppers and the seeds can be collected and saved.
