What color are Purple Beauty peppers?
Purple Beauty produces glossy deep-purple bell peppers that ripen to red if left on the plant. The rich purple skin makes it one of the most ornamental sweet peppers you can grow.
Are Purple Beauty peppers sweet or hot?
They are sweet with no heat. Crisp and mild at the purple stage, they add striking color to fresh salads and veggie trays, and turn sweeter when ripened to red.
When and how should I sow the seeds?
Sow indoors 8 to 10 weeks before your last frost, 1/4 inch deep in warm soil near 80 F. Transplant outdoors after all danger of frost and once nights stay above 55 F.
How long until Purple Beauty peppers are ready?
They reach the mature purple stage in about 70 to 75 days from transplant. Leave them on the plant longer if you want them to ripen fully to red.
What spacing and sun do the plants need?
Space plants 18 to 24 inches apart in full sun with at least 6 to 8 hours of light. The compact, sturdy plants are well suited to containers and small gardens.
Are Purple Beauty peppers heirloom and non-GMO?
Yes. Purple Beauty is an open-pollinated heirloom and non-GMO, so you can save seed from fully ripened red fruit to grow true again next season.
