Gorgeous purple peppers are guaranteed to spark conversation in the garden. Rich, deep purple fruit with terrific, sweet bell flavor.

Purple skin contrasts beautifully with lime green flesh and dresses up fresh veggie trays, sandwiches, salads, and other dishes. Tolerates high heat and humidity and thrives in Southern gardens. Resistant to tobacco mosaic virus and bacterial leaf spot races 1, 2, and 3.

Pepper plants are originally from the tropical regions of South America, Central America, and North America, and they can be grown as perennial plants in similar regions that do not receive any frost.

While hot peppers have a long history, sweet bell peppers were only introduced to the world thanks to selective breeding in 1920.
