This unique variety is the first black-leafed ornamental pepper on the market and an ideal choice for mixed containers. Bushy, upright and well-branched plants have foliage that is greenish when young and matures to glossy black with high light and heat. Rounded, shiny black fruit matures to dark red and is very hot to the taste. All-America Selections and Fleuroselect Quality Mark Winner, and a consumer favorite in many trial gardens.
