Details

The Black Prince pepper is terrific for adding some color between main landscaping features. The sizes of these pods are tiny and they don’t cluster on the plant to make their presence feel bigger. They complement a design rather than draw the eye like the star of the show.

In terms of eating, they can be used for dishes where the color and spiciness can lend some drama to the plate, but the peppers aren’t meant to add to the overall flavor. Salsas are an excellent option, as well as salads that could use a little extra pop. Excellent for making colored pickled peppers.

The Black Prince originates from Mexico. If you like chili plants with a stunning look, this is the one for you. The leaves vary in color from green to black and the purple flowers are beautiful. First you will get dark purple pods, but you have to let them change to red, before they are ready for harvest. Non-Isolated.
