Delicious Italian frying peppers. An early, productive, and great-tasting duo. Bred to create an eye-catching display at market, we created this pair with striking color contrast and matching silhouettes. Carmen and Escamillo represent a burgeoning pepper class for market growers: the Corno di Toro or “bull’s horn” pepper type. Our breeding work on carmine-red ‘Carmen’ was inspired by the fiery gypsy in the French opera of the same name. Carmen soon took the market by storm for its earliness, dependability, and great flavor. We quickly set to work breeding a companion, golden ‘Escamillo,’ which matches Carmen in flavor and beauty. Versatile and tasty any way you eat them — raw, cooked, sliced, diced, sautéed, stuffed, and especially fire-roasted, which caramelizes the sugars and elevates them to a whole new level of delicious! Both AAS award-winning peppers were bred by retired Johnny’s breeder and AAS Breeder’s Cup award winner Janika Eckert.

FAVORITE ELDERBERRIES FOR BEAUTIFYING THE GARDEN Don’t just grow elderberries for the edible fruit. These tough and adaptable shrubs can also be surprisingly beautiful landscape plants. By Anne Balogh Share: Black Lace Elderberry, Black Foliage Proven Winners Sycamore, IL Black Lace® elderberry (Sambucus nigra). Photo by Proven Winners. Elton John may sing about “feeling fine on elderberry wine,” but the shrub that bears that intoxicating fruit offers many other attributes that gardeners can feel good about. You may have seen elderberries laden with clusters of dark purple berries growing in the wild along roadsides, woodlands and streambanks, but never considered growing them yourself. “Unfortunately, few people think of the elderberry as an ornamental shrub that would bring beauty to their property,” says Sandy Helsel, of the Herb Society of America. “Today there are numerous cultivars with attractive foliage in green, near black, or yellow and flowers in white, pink, or gold. All can be attractive additions to the garden.” In addition to their ornamental qualities, they are a valuable contributor to the ecosystem. Providing food and shelter for many species of songbirds and nectar for pollinating insects, elderberries can turn any garden into a beautiful wildlife sanctuary. On this page: The Basics | Types | Planting and Growing | Pruning Tips | Pictures | Garden Uses THE BASICS Botanical name: Sambucus Plant Type: Deciduous shrub, although many people refer to them as elderberry trees. Hardiness: Zones 4-9, depending on the species. May survive in colder regions with protection. Exposure: Partial to full sun Bloom time: Spring and summer Height: From 2 feet all the way up to 20 feet, depending on the variety. Average lifespan: 25 to 50 years What’s edible: The flowers and berries have been used for centuries for both culinary and medicinal purposes. The antioxidant-packed berries usually ripen in late summer, between mid-August and mid-September, and can be used to make pies, jams, jellies and wine, and the flowers are often added to cordials and tea (see this recipe for an elderflower cordial).

85 days. A Bavarian heirloom from our friends at Seed Savers, German Pink produces large, deep pink fruits weighing in at one to two pounds each with a big, sweet-tart Tomato flavor and a meaty texture. Borne on potato-leafed, indeterminate vines, it yields an abundant crop of crack-resistant, blemish-free, picture-perfect fruits. Caging is a must for these big beefsteak beauties.
