Description
The Black Prince is a compact ornamental pepper with remarkably dark purple foliage and small, upright conical pods that mature from black-purple to brilliant red. With moderate heat and a fruity flavor, it is both a dramatic decorative plant and a useful kitchen pepper. Popular in containers and garden borders, its fiery ripe pods are used fresh or dried in spicy preparations.
