Overview
Blackbird is a hybrid bell pepper sold by Stokes that puts on a color show as it ripens. Fruit start out purple-brown, deepen to nearly black, and finish dark red if you leave them on the plant. Each pepper is compact, close to 3 1/2 by 3 3/4 inches, and the plants show resistance to tobacco mosaic virus. Expect the first mature fruit around 73 days from transplant. Pick at the black stage for a dramatic pepper on the plate, or wait for full red and a sweeter bite.
