If you’re looking for a big, blocky bell pepper for short seasons, look no further! Delectable as green peppers ripening red and sweet, we love Crimson Carillon stuffed, sliced on salads, diced in salsa and simply as a snack right in the garden.

Cascading like carillon bells in the tower (their namesake!), Crimson Carillon is a new open-pollinated variety from Cornell. We’re confident organic Crimson Carillon sweet pepper will be beloved for many generations to come; this is how ‘heirlooms’ are born, Friends! We’re grateful for the countless generations of indigenous seedkeepers who have saved pepper seed for millennia and we are thrilled to share this fresh selection of sweet red bell pepper, both delicious and reliable, with you.

Would you love to receive these seeds? Rather than selling and shipping, we share seeds as an embodied gift practice.
