  • Species and varieties: Purple pepper seeds belong to the Capsicum annuum species. There are several varieties of purple peppers, including 'Purple Beauty', 'Purple Jalapeno', and 'Purple Bell'. These varieties are known for their vibrant purple color and sweet to mildly spicy flavor.
  • Hybrid or heirloom: Purple pepper seeds can be both hybrid and heirloom. 'Purple Beauty' is an heirloom variety known for its rich color and sweet taste, while some other purple pepper varieties may be hybrids developed for specific growing conditions or disease resistance.
  • Pruning and training: Pruning is not typically necessary for purple peppers, but removing any damaged or diseased leaves can help maintain plant health. Staking or caging the plants can provide support and prevent them from falling over as they grow and produce fruit.
  • Fertilization needs: Purple peppers benefit from a balanced fertilizer applied at planting and again when the plants start to flower. A 5-10-10 fertilizer (low in nitrogen, higher in phosphorus and potassium) is recommended. Regular feeding every 4-6 weeks can promote healthy growth and fruit production.
  • Hardiness zones: Purple peppers are best suited for USDA hardiness zones 9-11. They thrive in warm climates and can be grown as annuals in cooler zones.
  • Climate requirements: Purple peppers require a warm growing season with temperatures between 70-85°F (21-29°C). They need full sun exposure for at least 6-8 hours a day and well-drained soil with a pH between 6.0 and 6.8. Consistent watering is essential, but the soil should not be waterlogged.
