Black Pearl Chilli

Originally from Mexico.

The heat level of this chilli is medium.

Perfect just fresh with some fruits or yoghourt.

When fully grown the Black Pearl Plant looks great, purple to dark leaves and fruits turning from shiny black to red when fully ripped. The plant is normally fairly low maintenance and is normally quite easy to grow, as long as a level of basic care is provided throughout the year. Being aware of the basic soil, sun and water preferences will result in a happier and healthier plant. It is not so big so you can keep it just as an ornamental plant but it will also give you a lot of fresh fruit during the chilli season which lasts approximate 4 to 6 months.
