Capsicum 'Purple Beauty' is a striking sweet pepper variety with deep purple, glossy skin, and a crisp, juicy texture. The blocky fruits grow to about 8–12 cm long and 7–10 cm wide, maturing from green to rich purple and finally to red when fully ripe. This compact, bushy plant (50–70 cm tall) is highly productive and ideal for container gardening or small spaces. The peppers have a mild, sweet flavour and are excellent for fresh salads, grilling, or stir-frying.

Growing Guide:

Soil: Prefers well-drained, nutrient-rich soil with a pH of 6.0–6.8.

Sunlight: Needs full sun (6–8 hours daily) for best yields.

Planting: Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost. Transplant outdoors when temperatures stay above 15°C.

Spacing: Plant 40–50 cm apart to allow good airflow.

Watering: Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Mulch helps retain moisture.

Fertilization: Use a balanced fertilizer (10-10-10) early on, switching to a phosphorus-rich blend during fruiting.

Support: May need staking if fruit load is heavy.

Harvesting: Ready in 70–80 days. Can be picked at the purple stage or left to ripen to red for a sweeter flavour.

This variety is disease-resistant and thrives in warm conditions. Let me know if you need tips on pest control or companion planting!
