1. It is beautiful. The flowers are this brilliant purple, then the little black pearls simply glisten in the sunlight. GORGEOUS! 2. When the peppers are ripe, they are an exquisite red color against an almost black purple backdrop. 3. The peppers are hot. As pretty as they look, they contain a serious wallop! 4. They are easy to grow and continually produced last summer up until almost November. I'm searching for this plant right now in Virginia!

Simply splendid! I purchased this several years ago and grew it in a pot all summer. Then brought the pots in and it wintered over nicely. Did great the next year too! Love the pearl peppers!
