Product Overview
Purple Beauty Pepper is a vibrant sweet bell variety prized for its deep purple colour and crisp, fresh flavor. The compact, sturdy plants reach 18 to 24 inches in height with an upright, well‑formed habit, producing thick walled, blocky fruits averaging 3 to 4 inches long. The peppers mature from green to a rich, glossy purple, retaining their striking colour while staying firm on the plant. The flavour is clean and mildly sweet, with a crisp, refreshing bite ideal for slicing fresh, adding to salads, grilling, or stuffing. This early to mid season variety typically reaches maturity in 70 to 75 days. For best results, grow in full sun, provide consistent moisture, and feed regularly to support strong growth and reliable production throughout the season.
