Compact, high-yielding varieties especially suited to growing in patio pots, small gardens, or hanging baskets.

Hot Pepper

‘Black Pearl’- 90 days. F1. Plant produces good yields of shiny black ornamental hot peppers. Peppers are very hot, grow upright, and turn from black to red when mature. Plant has black leaves, black stems, and white flowers. A beautiful plant suitable for indoor pots. Grows to 18" tall.

‘Calico’ - Showy mounding plants with purple, green, and cream variegation are great for mixed plantings or borders. Glossy, pendant black fruits are pretty but VERY hot (not recommended for eating). 90 days from transplant.

‘Chilly Chili’ - 90 days. F1. Plant produces high yields of 2" long hot peppers. Peppers grow upright and turn from greenish-yellow, to orange, to red when mature. A beautiful plant suitable for indoor pots.

‘Garda Tricolore’ - Tiny, conical hot peppers start purple, changing to cream, orange, then red. Fruits ripen at different times, so plants will be covered with a multi-colored display throughout the summer.
