[70–80 days] Purple Beauty is a striking bell pepper variety that turns heads in the garden and on the plate. Starting off a glossy green, the fruits develop into a deep, rich purple on the outside while retaining a green flesh inside. The flavour is mild, sweet, and crisp—perfect for fresh salads, slicing, stuffing, or grilling.
Unlike many coloured peppers that require full ripening to reach sweetness, Purple Beauty delivers flavour even when not fully matured. It produces blocky, thick-walled fruits that grow to around 8–10cm and hold their colour well on the plant. Compact and bushy, it’s ideal for pots, raised beds, or greenhouse growing. This variety thrives in warm conditions and will reward you with good yields throughout the season.
Height: 60–80cm (24–32"). Spread: 40–50cm (16–20").
Are Purple Beauty peppers edible when purple? Yes, they are sweet and crisp even when purple. The colour is not an indication of ripeness—just a beautiful natural stage.
Will they turn red eventually? With enough time, they can ripen further to a dark red or brownish-red, but most people harvest them while still purple for best flavour and texture.
Can I grow Purple Beauty outdoors? Yes, in a sunny, sheltered location. For best results in the UK, grow under cover in a greenhouse or polytunnel.
