What a beautiful plant to add to the container garden. The Buena Mulata is a hot purple pepper that ripens to a beautiful red when its flavor becomes the most complex. From stem to flower to pepper, everything about this plant is tinged in purple and one of the earliest in the garden to begin producing. Excellent for hot sauce connoisseur and similar in heat to Cayenne.
According to Baker Creek, this is a very rare variety introduced to the market from William Woys Weaver who saved it from his grandfathers collection who got the seed from Horrace Pippin, an African-American folk artist. This little plant is considered an African-American Heirloom. Mr Weaver recommends to add it to white wine vinegar, garlic and cilantro for an excellent hot sauce. http://www.nytimes.com/2001/03/15/garden/human-nature-a-keeper-of-seeds-exotic-and-antique.html
