Description
Dazzling, indeed! For years folx have rhapsodized about Violet Sparkle pepper and, when we finally grew them, we only wished we had grown them sooner! Thriving in short, cool seasons, Violet Sparkle is a compact plant cascading four-inch chartreuse fruits that blush burgundy lavender & ripen to red, sweet as can be. The kaleidoscope doesn’t stop from midsummer to frost, fabulous for salads, sautees, on the grill and pickling as well as stuffing. We snack on them straight in the garden all the time, too ~
