With its striking variegated foliage that features shades of green, purple, and cream, the Purple Tiger instantly elevates the aesthetic appeal of any garden or patio space.
In addition, the Purple Tiger produces small, colorful peppers that transition through shades of black, purple, and red as they mature, providing visual intrigue and a splash of color throughout its life cycle.
