Bell Pepper 'Dragonfly'
‘Dragonfly’ is an All-America Selection winner because of its intense dark purple color and robust pepper flavor. Another perk, is that the fruits are set high on the plant, preventing damage from setting on the soil. If left to ripen through stages on the plant, the fruit turns from green to purple to red. While not a traditional large and blocky bell pepper, it is SO FUN to grow and can be used in lieu of any sweet pepper in dishes. Read more below.
Height: ~24-36”

A Note from the Grower
Peppers can bring more than heat to the table. In this peck of peppers, you’ll find that peppers don’t have to be hot to be interesting. They are a staple in cuisines around the world.
Picking peppers was one of my favorite tasks in the garden as a kid. There was something so much more rewarding about snipping through a big, fat bell pepper stem. In my sweet pepper selection, you’ll find your classic blocky bells, a few pretties, and a few other specialty peppers renowned for their flavor. The one thing they all have in common is their mild flavor. They may be smokey or tangy, but NOT HOT. To learn more about ideal pepper care, head to the Plant Guide.
