75 days from transplanting. Uniquely beautiful, as these peppers grow, they change from creamy lime color to deep purple and eventually red. Productive, very early, and compact, the fruits have milder flavor and a contrasting lime green interior. The color magically turns green when cooked. Purple Beauty is sure to deliver no matter your climate! Also grown for ornamentals; great in containers.
This packet yields approximately 24 plants when started indoors.
