plant ID in Louisiana

16 years ago

A friend of mine in central La has this plant growing in a pot, and she doesn't know what it is. I'm not familiar with it either. Anyone know? How cold hardy is it?

Thanks, Mrs H

That is one of the ornamental peppers, perhaps Capsicum annuum 'Black Pearl'.

I don't know the hardiness of it, but based on the name, I'd say it's probably an annual plant anyway.

It's a perennial Capsicum that can be grown indoors in Winter and kept
alive for many years if you choose.

After google- I believe you are correct, thanks. Eumeces fasciatus - Young have a bright blue tail while adult males often loose their stripes and develop reddish or orange coloration on the head. Here is a link that might be useful: More info
