Absolutely eye catching variety. The Purple Leaf heart is extremely rare not sold anywhere else in the US. Plants are good producers of striking purple black peppers. Peppers are tapered and range anywhere from 1 to 3 inches. Flavor is mild yet spicy. Good for making pickled peppers or stuffing. Fruits will turn red when mature.

How to Save Seeds
Peppers are self pollinators, but will cross within the same species much like squash so it's best not to plant two of the same species. Separate by at least 500ft. Once peppers are ripe on stalk and fully dry harvest them cut open and scoop out seeds. Allow to dry for a week or so. Dry method works great.

Easy growers!
These grew easily for me. I started them indoors under grow lights and moved them outdoors in May as transplants. They are big producers and have the prettiest flowers! It's July now and they are starting to turn red for me. I can't wait to eat them!
