A difference in Peppers

The "Green" black jalapeno plant - the leaves are green, the flowers are white with purple fringe and the peppers start green, fade to black and ripen to red.


The "purple" black jalapeno plant - the leaves are purple mottled, the flowers are purple, and the pepper start black and ripen to red.

I love doing first generation plants - both of these came from seed from one black jalapeno.  SO AWESOME!

That's very exciting! What will happen as the weather cools? Will they survive?

Roberta - I'm sure they won't make it through the winter without me digging them up. I figure it will be much easier to just start some new plants next spring.
