Scientific Name: Piper nigrum. Common name: 'black pepper'. Black pepper is a green leafy flowering vine in the family Piperaceae. It is cultivated for its fruit, which is usually dried and used as a spice and seasoning. The vine can be used as a ground cover or small climber and trained to grow on trellises, walls or climb on other plants. The fruits are the well-known, pungently aromatic condiments, the black and white pepper of commerce. As an ornamental, it needs support to grow on but it can be a beautiful follage plant and makes a great backdrop for any garden. Easily grown from seeds.
This item is a special nursery grower's wholesale packet of one thousand (actually 1,100) Piper nigrum 'black pepper' seeds, to be delivered upon receipt of payment. Note that the buyer pays $3.95 postage & handling.
