Purple Beauty Sweet Bell Pepper, Heirloom Seeds

Purple Beauty, Sweet Pepper Seeds — The Striking Heirloom Bell With a Color All Its Own

Purple Beauty is the pepper that makes the garden look like a painting. This stunning heirloom bell produces large, blocky fruits in a deep, saturated purple — a color so vivid and unusual it stops visitors mid-stride. The flesh is thick, crisp, and genuinely sweet with no heat, and the flavor is clean and refreshing whether eaten raw or cooked. As the fruits ripen fully, they transition from purple to red — a dramatic color shift that adds another layer of visual interest to an already remarkable variety.

Beyond its beauty, Purple Beauty is a reliable, disease-resistant producer that delivers generous yields of thick-walled, substantial fruits through the season.

Growing Notes

Start indoors 8–10 weeks before last frost. Sow seeds ¼ inch deep in fertile, well-draining soil. Transplant outdoors after all frost danger has passed, spacing plants 18–24 inches apart in full sun. Water consistently and support heavy-fruiting plants with stakes. Harvest at the purple stage for visual impact or allow to ripen fully to red.
