The Classic Italian Frying Pepper — Sweet, Meaty & Incredibly Productive
Bull Horn Pepper (Capsicum annuum), also known as Corno di Toro, is a beloved Italian heirloom sweet frying pepper. Large plants up to 4 ft tall produce generous yields of 8–12 in tapered fruits with thick, meaty walls.

Growing Tips
Plant in full sun with rich, well-draining soil. Amend the planting hole with compost and feed every 2–3 weeks for the first 6 weeks. Mulch the base with 1–2″ of compost to retain moisture. Keep indoors during cold snaps below 55°F.
Harvest Tips
Harvest with clean garden scissors when fruits reach full crimson-red. Frequent harvesting encourages new bud formation and extends the productive season.
