I see you're sending me Hallow's Eve. Wow I've been wanting these for a over a year now, this and the Jai's Pink will be my new favorites. Any other purple varieties you're growing? Do you have Count Dracula. Pure purple/black leaves and stems, purple flowers and purple/black pods that ripen to red. I will send you Count Dracula if you don't have it already, stunningly beautiful plant. I haven't tried the pods yet as I'm waiting for it to ripen to red first for saving seeds and for maximum heat.

I grew Purple flash for one season. Biggest waste of space ever. The problem with a lot of these “new” varieties people are pushing is that they were ornamentals that they now say are edible. Technically that’s true but they were called ornamentals for a reason. They taste terrible. As I stated earlier, I’m a practical person trying to make the best use out of my limited space. Hallow’s Eve did well in the early part of the season but it didn’t seem to like the searing sun of July and August so it produced very few pods, but now it’s starting to perk up again. Armageddon was the same way but as I recall that plant was bred with English weather in mind. Since you can see I picked those Death spirals just the other day they thrive in the heat, as do the Fatalis and the Komodo Dragons. All of those peppers will thrive for years, as long as you take care of them.
