Black Pearl Pepper (Capsicum annuum) is an ornamental pepper plant prized for its striking dark purple-black foliage and small, glossy, pearl-like peppers that transition from black to fiery red as they mature. This compact and bushy plant adds dramatic contrast to garden beds, borders, or containers. While the peppers are edible, they are extremely spicy, making them better suited for ornamental use or as a bold culinary accent in dishes.
