Purple Beauty
Purple Beauty pepper seeds produce compact, bushy plants with thick protective foliage. The fruits begin to form mid-summer, starting as big, blocky, 3-4 lobed green bell peppers, before maturing to an astonishing bright purple colour. Purple Beauty was grown out from the original hybrid Purple Belle and now produces open pollinated seeds for seed saving and home seed production. The flavour of these remarkable fruits is mild, sweet, and succulent, with a fine, crispy texture. The cut fruits look absolutely spectacular mixed with yellow or orange peppers, so they belong in every foodie's garden. Peppers will turn green when cooked.

Hungarian Black
Gorgeous jalapeno-shaped peppers mature from bright green to nearly jet black, and finally to intense scarlet red. The productive 60cm (24") tall plants are loaded with fruits of medium heat. Use these interchangeably with jalapeno peppers for a a dash of drama in dips and salsas. The flavour really brightens as they mature, and the colour stands out on market tables. Try Black Hungarian pepper seeds in patio containers but aim to keep the soil constantly moist during the growing season and allow for good air circulation around plants. Mildly spicy 1,000-2,5000 SHUs.

How to grow
Timing: Start indoors 5-8 weeks before the last frost. Start early March on the coast for transplanting in June into warm soil.
Seeding: Sow seeds 1cm (1/2") deep in individual cells or small pots. Use a seedling warmer to maintain a soil temperature above 20 degrees C (68F). Germination may take 8-18 days, depending on soil temperature and variety.
Growing: Soil should have abundant phosphorus and calcium, so add lime and compost to the bed or containers before transplanting. Mix 1/4-1/2 cup of complete organic fertlizer under each transplant. Though peppers will tolerate dry soil, they'll only make good growth if the soil is kept moist.
Usual seed life: 2 years
