Black Pearl ornamental pepper
Love, love, loved this plant. It was used as “ornamental” but could be used in salsa/whatever. All seeds germinated beautifully. Lovely size and form so put them in front of a raised bed wall. Stunning with profusion zinnia! I will be growing them again in 2023!!! Thank you, Pinetree!!!!
