Ornamental pepper

CAPSICUM ANNUUM, ZONES 9 TO 11 OR ANNUAL

Although they’re safe to eat, these stunning annuals are more prized for the color of their fruit clusters. Onyx Red performs well in the sun from late spring through hard frost. The striking glossy black foliage also provides lush texture to smaller containers. Grow in rich, well-draining soil.

Why we love it:

This plant needs the same care as other pepper varieties, so it adds a ton of wow factor to tiny spaces with little hassle.
