Description:
The Black Prince pepper may be small, but it sure is pretty. This is a great ornamental variety to add to your garden or patio. Plus, unlike most ornamental peppers, Black Princes have a great flavor for many different culinary uses.
This compact plant grows up to 2 ft. in containers and has beautiful purple flowers that will look spectacular in your garden. Black Prince peppers grow from black to red when mature, and are quite small, reaching only about 1/2" long.
What's great about the Black Prince pepper is that it has a slightly sweet flavor and a similar heat profile to a Cayenne pepper. They make a great and colorful addition to fresh or cooked meals (and your garden)!
