Dragonfly Pepper55 days. Dragonflys striking, deep purple, nearly black shade is guaranteed to impress! These elongated, 3 inch fruit emerge light green and quickly develop their dark pigment with thick walls and a pleasantly sweet flavor. Productive plants perform well even in growing conditions with lower fertility. Fruit maintains its purple hue for an extended period but will eventually ripen to red. HR: TMV, ToMV 02.
