Keith - most of the seeds you sent me recently are yellow but several are red. Do you think there will be much difference between the plants grown from the two different colored seeds? Just curious as I plan to sow several of each color anyway.

The red must be pepper juice that stained them, seeds are all yellow.

Hi Keith,

I sowed 15 of the ornamental pepper seeds you sent me and all of them germinated. Three of them have variegated leaves, one is predominantly light purple with a little bit of variegation and the rest have solid green leaves.

All are growing nicely. Most of them are just now starting to develop blossoms. For a long time I had trouble keeping them in the sun as the leaves kept wilting badly ... so I just kept them on the edge of sunshine. Finally they have adapted to sunlight and are growing really well. They are all in pots. Sure hope they develop some peppers before frost sets in - usually around mid-Sept. here in NW PA. I have lots of seeds left over from what you sent me and will plant them next spring - although earlier than the ones I did this spring.

Let me know how you're making out with your plants.

Don

@keithp2012, here is what the two pots of those pepper plants look like now. I never thinned them out and though they will all be crowded, I kind of like the results. There are lots of flowers and a few small peppers. Plenty of purples and plenty of variegated leaves too.

Those purple leaves stand out so much! I wonder what color the peppers will end up being?

Right now the only (tiny) peppers I see are white. I will post photos as these plants mature and we'll see what sort of peppers appear.
