Pepper Dragonfly F1

2022 AAS Edible-Vegetable Winner

Dragonfly pepper plants produce beautiful purple peppers that have thick, sweet walls, unlike the thin papery walls of other purples on the market. Similar to the beloved dragonfly that flits around your garden, this pepper transforms itself from a green pepper into a purple fruit that is as delicious at the green stage of maturity as it is when fully purple and mature. Overall, it’s a much better purple color than comparisons with above average, robust pepper flavor. Fruits are held high on the plant, keeping them from the soil. The 4-lobed fruits do not fade and if left on the vine, turn a beautiful, bright red color.

  • The flavor is good, thick & juicy walls that don’t pale out but instead turn into a nice red.
  • Attractive 4 lobed fruit.
  • Definitely a welcome addition to the sweet pepper party.
  • The entry was sweet in taste and dark purple in color. The plant was overall healthy-looking and uniform in habit.
