Purple Tiger Pepper Seeds

The Purple Tiger is one of our most anticipated rare and exotic pepper seeds, and it’s easy to see why. These plants contain excellent ornamental qualities but bear some one-of-a-kind fruits that can be used in a variety of different ways.

These plants are short and compact, barely reaching 2 ft. in height. Pods will reach around 1” in length and start green before changing to a rare purple color with red stripes, then finally to its mature red color. This change makes Purple Tiger pepper plants a fascinating ornamental variety, but it also has its uses in the kitchen.

The heat levels of Purple Tigers are 2-4 times hotter than Jalapeno peppers. Their chili-hot flavor can be useful to make sauce, cook with other meats and vegetables, or ground up into a chili pepper powder.
