Royal Black Pepper Seeds

Royal Black peppers add a dark and regal flare to your garden or patio. We’re unsure where this pepper came from, but doesn’t that add to its noble mystique?

This is a great compact plant that grows up to 2 ft. tall with elegant dark purple foliage and black stems. Royal Black pepper plants produce purple flowers and tiny peppers that grow to about an inch long and are shaped like little teardrops (similar to a Pequin pepper). Peppers turn from their dark purple-black color to a deep red color when they mature.

Like other ornamental peppers, the flavor is fairly spicy, and the heat is all over the place. Royal Black peppers have heat levels ranging from 5,000-30,000 SHUs, so you’ll never know how hot your pepper is when you take a bite out of it! Use these peppers to cook into any spicy dish, add them to a delicious sauce or salsa, or just let them grow out and beautify your garden! You can’t go wrong with a majestic pepper like the Royal Black pepper.
