Deep black foliage and blood red peppers of ‘Black Pearl’

Blue Ribbon ‘Black Pearl’ Ornamental Pepper is a great ingredient for Halloween décor—it’s an incredibly black plant. Used alone in a gothic urn it makes a creepy yet elegant centerpiece. Of course the black foliage is dramatic, and when those shiny pearl-shaped peppers turn blood red we get an extra chilling perk.

Lighten the mood with chartreuse foliage for dramatic contrast

Place caldrons of ‘Black Pearl’ on porches or decks to welcome trick-or-treaters—or scare them away. That deep inky black can get pretty intense. You can always lighten the mood with some bright chartreuse—or the reflection of the moonlight on the shiny leaves.
