Purple Flash Pepper looks stunning when planted by itself in a 12″ white container. Of course it also looks great in other pots and flower beds with its beautiful black purple and violet splashed leaves. I’ve heard some gardeners talk about how they like the interesting architecture of its branches. This easy to grow plant produces show glossy black fruit, but don’t eat it, as it is very hot and not developed for taste. These ornamental pepper plants have been used a lot recently in the displays at the Dallas Arboretum.
