Purple Beauty Bell Pepper
Growing Purple Beauty Bell Pepper
‘Purple Beauty’ is an open-pollinated bell pepper prized for its dramatic color and thick-walled fruits. Blocky, three- to four-lobed peppers begin light purple and deepen to a striking purplish black as they mature.
Start ‘Purple Beauty’ indoors for transplanting or sow directly where conditions allow. Plant seeds about ¼ inch deep, space plants 24 to 36 inches apart, and grow in full sun. Compact plants develop heavy foliage that helps protect fruits from sunscald and are noted for disease resistance.
Ready to harvest in about 70 days, pick peppers once they reach the size and shade you prefer.
Colorful, thick walled, and versatile, ‘Purple Beauty’ is excellent for fresh eating, slicing, stuffing, and everyday cooking.
