Description:
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.
