Purple Beauty Bell Pepper (Pepper 'Purple Beauty') is a uniquely colored heirloom variety. Both the fruit and the blooms are purple! This plant is sturdy and compact, developing peppers in approximately 60-80 days. Purple Beauty Bell Peppers are antioxidant rich and a good source of vitamin C. The mild flavor makes them great for eating fresh. Purple Beauty Bell Peppers have thick walls that make this fruit perfect for cooking with. As an added bonus, Purple Beauty Bell Pepper is disease resistant.
Purple Beauty Bell Pepper Care
Purple Beauty Bell Pepper is hardy in USDA zones 8-12 as a perennial, and elsewhere it is grown as an annual. A mature-sized plant can reach a height of 24-28 inches tall, and a spread of 15-18 inches wide. Plant Purple Beauty in full sun after the last frost has passed, in an average, well-draining potting mix. A sun shade may be necessary in late summer during the harsh midday sun.
Growing Purple Beauty Bell Pepper
Start Purple Beauty Bell Pepper indoors during the early spring months. Sow indoors 6 to 8 weeks before transplanting outside. Transplant this pepper outdoors late May through early July.
For best results, transplant Purple Beauty directly into a garden bed with a 24-inch row spacing. Fruits will appear mid to late summer and are approximately 3.5-4 inches long. For plants grown in containers, select a pot that is at least 16 inches in diameter with adequate drainage hole.
Watering Purple Beauty Bell Pepper
Purple Beauty Bell Pepper has moderate moisture requirements. Water your plant about every other day to ensure the soil doesn’t stay dry for too long.
Feeding Purple Beauty Bell Pepper
Purple Beauty Bell Pepper plants are moderate to heavy feeders. Fertilize biweekly with a balanced, general-purpose fertilizer. Then, as fruits develop, switch to a phosphorus- and potassium-rich fertilizer.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability).

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
