This plant has black leaves tinted with a little burgandy. The new leaves come in a bright green with tiny starshaped flowers that are white on the inside and purple on the outside. This plant has round fruit that is either black to red or black to red. I love this unique plant and am hoping to keep it growing during the winter. Thanks for the information for this ornamental pepper, but I am still not sure how to keep it going through the winter indoor or out.
