Sow Right Seeds - Purple Beauty Pepper Seeds for Planting - Non-GMO Heirloom Packet with Instructions to Plant and Grow an Outdoor Home Vegetable Garden - Sweet Bell Variety, Violet Purple (1)

I have a fascination with colored vegetables. They are visually appealing as well as healthy and delicious. Every seed sprouted and produced a bunch of beautiful bell peppers.

Planted them three different times and none of them sprouted.

I planted 20 seeds just in case I lost some seedlings or some didn’t sprout for whatever reason. It happens 🤷🏻‍♀️ Now here I am with 13 plants (had to get rid of 7 because I don’t have space in my small backyard garden). I did NOT expect to have 100% germination. And I did NOT expect them to be so productive. I started the seeds indoors and they sprouted in less than a week, were all solid starts, and are still growing beautifully. In fact, I had to pluck flower buds and deadhead them for some weeks because they were growing so quickly (with lights, airflow, and heating pads indoors). I probably started them a few weeks too soon, but I attribute that (and good seed quality) to them being so tall, bushy, and healthy now. Many peppers I’ve picked early because a few of the plants were being weighed down. I’ve also used no added fertilizer. Just soil with compost mixed in .. from Costco 😂🤷🏻‍♀️ I’m quite literally drowning in peppers lol.

Unfortunately very low germination and none of my seedlings made it through a very cool wet June.

Great seeds all the ones that i planted had sprouted and grown

Every one of these that I planted germinated and grew to a healthy plant, which is a plus. I have three plants in my garden, all doing just fine.But the plant and the peppers it produces are smaller than I'd prefer. This might be good for a balcony gardener with limited room, but I have no such size constraints and I wasn't expecting such a small plant. The plants themselves are 24 - 30 inches tall and produce very small peppers. They taste about how you'd expect a bell pepper to taste. I'm growing some regular bell peppers this year and following the same watering and fetilization schedule, those other plants produce peppers that are 3x the size, so I don't think it's something I'm doing wrong.The plants are fairly productive, giving me a dozen or so peppers already by the end of July. I'm sure I'll get another dozen or more before the season is over.Also the peppers go from green to a color I would describe as closer to black than purple. Nothing close to the vibrant purple you see on the package.The packaging says they go from green to purple to red, so it just dawned on me that there may be a more purple phase somewhere between the current black color and when they turn red. If I do get actual purple peppers I'll update this review and include a picture.

My plants grew great. I didn't get very many peppers but I believe that was my fault, not the seeds.

I got 6 of 6 to germinate. However only 2 produced fruit, very small and took about a month longer than all my other massive green and red sweet peppers
