Saavyseeds Purple Jalapeno Pepper Seeds - 35 Count - One HOT Pepper! HOT heat. 75 Days. A large Jalapeno pepper that turns deep purple before maturing to red. Full Jalapeno flavor and heat; great for salsa and other Mexican foods. Plants both productive and ornamental. A colorful twist on the standard jalapeno, this dark purple, nearly black pepper has been a favorite in our trials for years. The dynamo plants produce showy lavender flowers followed by a deluge of 2 3/4 inch long fruit that are 3/4 inch wide. The peppers emerge a deep green with the purple tone quickly saturating the skin, and eventually ripening to blood red. With crunchy, deep walls, a lime green interior, and a stout, classic jalapeno flavor, this variety is a colorful divergence from standard jalapenos.
