Description

Purple Beauty Pepper is a striking bell pepper variety known for its glossy, deep purple fruit and sweet, crisp flavor. The blocky peppers start green and mature to a rich purple hue, adding vibrant color to both the garden and the kitchen. They are excellent for fresh eating, salads, grilling, and stuffing.

This productive plant produces medium-sized, thick-walled peppers on compact, sturdy bushes. Its ornamental appeal and reliable yields make it a favorite for gardeners looking to combine beauty with edible harvests throughout the warm season.

• Type: Annual pepper (Capsicum annuum)
• Start indoors: 6–8 weeks before last frost
• Transplant: After all danger of frost has passed
• Sun: Full sun
• Spacing: 18–24 inches
• Days to maturity: 70–80 days (green), 80–90 days (purple/red maturity varies by heat)

Peppers thrive in warm, well-drained, fertile soil with consistent moisture. Transplant only when temperatures are reliably warm. Mulching helps retain soil moisture and stabilize root temperatures. Harvest when peppers reach full size; purple coloration is best developed in strong sunlight and moderate temperatures. Regular picking encourages continued production throughout the season.
