Ornamental Pepper Black Hawk F1

2016 Flower Winner

If you are looking for a plant with adorable little ornamental peppers that start off black and change to a beautiful, head-turning red, you’ll be over the moon for our newest AAS regional ornamental pepper winner, Black Hawk F1.

This newest in our ornamental pepper winners is a very early flower and fruit producer that keeps up production through fall. The consistent plant habit and well branched fullness of the dark green, purple black foliage make it an excellent addition to any mixed container, flower bed or cut flower design.  The red conical shaped fruit are edible but not recommended as they are very spicy.

  1. AAS Display Garden- River Valley Master Gardeners – 08/09/2018

    Black Hawk pepper was a vigorous grower, reaching about 2 feet tall in our Zone 6a garden.
    The shiny peppers and multi-colored foliage really made a statement.
