The Purple Marconi Pepper stands out as a true rarity among the Marconi family, which includes its Red and Golden counterparts.
Widely sought after by food enthusiasts and gardening aficionados, the Purple Marconi is cherished for its striking color transformation and unparalleled sweetness.
From its initial green hue, it ripens into a rich, deep purple (will turn red if left on the plant too long)—a captivating sight for those who appreciate nature’s artistry.
