Meet the goth overachiever your windowsill always wanted: the Capsicum ‘Purple Flash’! This dramatic little over-performer flaunts near-black leaves with chaotic splashes of electric purple and white, making your other green houseplants look remarkably boring. It is ridiculously heat-tolerant, delightfully low-maintenance, and grows tiny, glossy black peppers that look like sinister little pearls!
