[QUOTE=AlittleSalt;647193]Litchi is one that has blossoms that are distinct. They are the prettiest we have ever seen, but the plant ... that's another story. [URL]https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/vegetables/litchi-tomato/litchi-tomato-information.htm[/URL][/QUOTE]

Wow ! that one IS a novelty ....but 90 days .....woa !

nice different blossoms ..and spikey leaves ! wow !8-):dizzy::D

We grew them as a novelty. Every kind of bug in the area loved the taste of the tomatoes. If one of us had fallen into the plant - it would have hurt! It took nearly 30 minutes to cut and remove the two plants because of how thorny they are.

[QUOTE=KarenO;647186]There seems to be some variability in the Sgt.peppers. I am growing it and have grown a number of antho tomatoes in the past. There is always some evidence of the Anthocyanin in the stems and foliage but not like this, check this out.
This particular specimen is so purple it's black. :)
Draculas best Halloween tomato.
Wispy Hearts often have elongated buds but particularly so in this case.
Hideous plant and I look forward to seeing what it does if it doesn't die from not enough chlorophyll?
This is not typical of the variety, more than normal from what I have seen of others plants. Has yet to set a fruit and looks a little stressed although planted and cared for as all my other normal plants.
Anyhow, have you looked at the plants, dwarfs with lime green chartreuse foliage black bear? There are some Cherokee tiger large red for example. They look very different.

Cool! Edward Scissorhands plant!! How bleak and utterly Halloweenish! Interested to see the fruit from this one....

Dark fruit. The plant remains wispy and dark as well.

That will be a fun one to watch Karen, as it ripens! With those spidery sepals, it looks like a ghoulish Halloween tomato!

Hey thanks for the ..new leads in this pursuit!

Good tips !

Spike looks a lot like the Carrot-like, Silvery Fir tree and other 'carrot-leaved' varieties..
Growing Lucinda this season, and it has beautiful foliage. Just like the other carrot ones, plenty of thickly growing leaves, very decorative.

They grow to be large plants. Be careful around them.

like the "edible and ornamental "


I have a Black Hungarian peppers doing very well

container friendly (2 feet tall ) ..early, purple fruit ...and beautiful purple Flowers

would go well with a

Bonte Tigerette

container friendly peppers with outstanding ornamental attributes to compliment an

ornamental edible pursuit with Tomatoes ?:D
