Sweet Bell Peppers - Purple Beauty

$9.95

The Sweet Bell Pepper Purple Beauty, 'Capsicum annuum', is a compact plant with very meaty, thick-fleshed, sweet, purple peppers. It is unlike most peppers which start out green, this one starts out purple and provides color early in the season. This is another exciting pepper to add to your collection of beautiful sweet bell peppers. Mix the Purple Beauty with red, green, yellow, orange, and chocolate peppers for a pallet of color. Transplant outside in the spring 3 to 4 weeks after last frost date. Note: To get a jump on the season transplant outside, use a walls-of-water or some black plastic to maintain and increase temperatures. Pinch off early flowers to encourage plant growth. Plant in average garden soil with sufficient organic matter. Peppers use quite a bit of water but prefer to be watered deeply and not too often. Blossom pruning will improve fruit size. Pinch off about 50% of the flowers. ... get more information
