Originating in Romania, the Antohi Romania pepper is an old, sweet variety that has traveled from the peasant gardens of Eastern Europe to North American vegetable gardens. Its conical fruits, initially pale yellow and then red when ripe, bring a bright touch to the intimacy of the kitchen garden.

In the garden, it's a reliable plant: modest in stature and well-branched, it offers consistent production throughout the summer, even in climates with shorter warm seasons. In welcoming, well-warmed soil, it quickly forms a small, fertile clump from which hang its smooth, lantern-like fruits. Its presence naturally complements a respectful approach to cultivation, in harmony with the rhythm of the seasons.
