I garden in the Central Valley of California, zone 9/10. Although I can harvest all year, my growing season is 240 days long. My average rainfall is 11 inches a year, with most of it in the spring. My frost dates are November 30 and March 30.
These pictures show one of my Black Hungarian Peppers in bloom. The flowers are purple with white strips. The leaf and flower stems are nearly black, and it is striking against the green leaves. Who said that vegetables don't belong in the flower bed?!? Some vegetables would be a spotlight among the flowers! These peppers grow to look similar to a banana pepper. They grow out green, turn black for quite a while, and then turn orange, then red. These dried and ground red peppers will make Hungarian Paprika.
