Description
The Black Cuban is a striking ornamental pepper notable for its dark purple to nearly black foliage and immature pods, which ripen to vivid red at full maturity. Its small, elongated fruits pack moderate heat with a fruity flavor. Widely grown for its dramatic contrast between dark foliage and bright ripe pods, it also performs well as a culinary pepper in fresh salsas and condiments.
