FAQs
Is Black Pearl edible or just ornamental?
Primarily ornamental. The fruits are edible but quite hot; if you choose to taste, handle and prepare with care and avoid contact with eyes.
Annual or perennial?
Perennial in frost-free climates (USDA 9–11). In cooler zones it’s grown as a warm-season annual.
Does the foliage stay black in part shade?
Color is darkest in full sun. In lower light the foliage may appear more green-bronze.
Container growing tips?
Use a well-drained potting mix in an 8–12" container with strong sun exposure. Fertilize lightly and avoid overwatering.

Typically 10–25 days in warm media. Bottom heat speeds and evens germination.
