The Variety

Purple Beauty is a striking sweet bell pepper known for its deep purple color and crisp, mild flavor. This variety produces blocky, thick-walled fruits that stand out in the garden and on the plate.

It’s a great choice for growers who want both visual appeal and reliable production, offering a unique alternative to traditional green and red bell peppers.

Flavor & Heat

Purple Beauty is a true sweet pepper with no heat. The flavor is clean, crisp, and slightly less sweet than fully ripened red bell peppers, especially when harvested in its deep purple stage.

It’s perfect for fresh eating, salads, and cooking where color and texture are just as important as flavor.

Garden Notes

Plant outdoors after the danger of frost has passed and temperatures have warmed. Purple Beauty performs best in full sun with fertile, well-drained soil and consistent watering.

Plants are relatively early for a bell pepper and produce well in garden beds, raised beds, and containers. Harvest when fruits are fully purple for color or allow them to ripen to red for a sweeter flavor.

🌱 Before You Plant

🌱 Check Night Time Temps

Peppers are warm-season plants and need heat to thrive.

Do not plant outdoors until after the danger of frost has passed and nighttime temperatures stay consistently mild.

Planting too early can slow growth and delay your harvest. Give peppers full sun, warm soil, and a little patience — they’ll take off when the season is right.
