Sweet Peppers
New Ace: A cinch to grow in the North. Resists blossom drop even in adverse weather so that almost every flower produces. Fruits thin-walled, not blocky, turn red early, good for the home garden.
Flavorburst: A Burpee taste-test winner, the 4–6" blocky bells begin the color of Granny Smith apples and ripen to a lovely shade of goldenrod. Thick-walled, crisp and juicy, the expected peppery bite overlaid with a zesty surge of lemon. Great appetizers, salad enhancers or stuffers.
Lunchbox (orange or red): The perfect snacking pepper. Fruits are smooth and extra sweet, averaging just 2-2 1/2" long by 1" wide. Tall, strong plants with good yields.
Mellow Star Shishito: Avg. 3 1/2-4" heavily wrinkled fruits are thin walled, mild (no heat) when green and slightly sweet when red. Popular in Japan where its thin walls make it particularly suitable for tempura. Also very good roasted, in stir fries, or sautés. Large, upright plants produce good yields over an extended harvest period.
Carmen: A classic Italian Corno di Toro type, Carmen features unusually sweet horn-shaped tapered pointed 2½x6" fruits averaging 5 oz. Unique and complex flavor perfect in salads.
