Description

Pamela Briggs-Luther has created this decorative image which ideal for kitchen,home and/or office.

Capsicum annuum 'Purple Flash" ( ornamental peppers)
This ornamental pepper is grown as an annual in St. Louis. It performs best in moist, organically rich, fertile, well-drained soils in full sun. Best foliage color occurs in full sun. Plants have good tolerance for high heat, humidity and drought. �Purple Flash� may be grown from seed. Start seed indoors 6-8 weeks before last spring frost date. Set seedlings or purchased plants out in the garden after last frost date. Space plants 8-12 inches apart. Avoid planting where peppers, tomatoes or eggplants previously grew. Plants may also be grown in containers. Plants generally need little pruning.
Noteworthy Characteristics

�Purple Flash� is a herbaceous ornamental pepper that is most noted for its near black foliage accented with occasional flashes of bright purple or white and its tiny jet black fruit. It grows vigorously in an upright bushy mound to 15� tall and 20� wide. Leaves retain good color throughout the growing season. Small dark purple flowers appear in clusters in early summer. Flowers are followed by small, round, glossy, jet black fruit. Fruits are technically edible but extremely hot.
Plant of Merit

Near black foliage accented with flashes of bright purple or white provide striking season-long impact from this ornamental pepper that typically grows in an upright mound to 15-20 inches tall. Small, dark purple flowers in early summer are followed by jet black fruits that are edible but peppery hot. Plants are easily grown in moist, organically rich, fertile, well-drained soils in full sun, with good tolerance for high heat, humidity and drought. Best foliage color is in full sun. Add to beds, borders, herb gardens or containers.
Problems

No serious insect or disease problems. Fungal and bacterial leaf spot, wilt, mosaic virus and stem/root rot may occur. Potential insect pests include aphids, white flies, cutworms, pepper maggots and Colorado potato beetles.
