Onyx Red Ornamental Pepper

Onyx Red Ornamental Pepper is a striking fall annual featuring dramatic dark foliage and an abundance of small, colorful peppers that mature to brilliant red. The combination of nearly black leaves and vivid red fruit creates exceptional contrast, making this plant a standout addition to autumn containers, porch displays, window boxes, and mixed seasonal plantings.

Its compact, colorful habit pairs beautifully with mums, asters, ornamental cabbage and kale, grasses, and pumpkins for a bold alternative to traditional fall flowers. Ornamental peppers are especially useful for adding rich color and interesting texture to late-summer and early-fall displays.

Maintenance: Place in full sun for best fruit production and foliage color. Water regularly when the upper layer of soil begins to dry, making sure containers drain freely. Avoid allowing the plant to remain waterlogged or repeatedly wilt. Ornamental peppers prefer warm conditions and are sensitive to frost, so protect plants during cold nights if you wish to extend their seasonal display. Grown primarily for decorative use.
