Details
Maui Purple peppers are hot, grow upright, and turn from dark purple to red when mature. The plants have dark purple stems, green and dark purple leaves, and violet-purple flowers. The attractive foliage and fruits lend well to ornamental uses, but the hot fruits make excellent culinary additions as well, including a tasty powder. One of the most gorgeous plants we have grown! A variety from Hawaii, USA. Non-Isolated.
