American Beauty

🌺 American Beauty
Bold red skin. Deep purple flesh. The name says it all.

American Beauty is one of those varieties that turns heads before you even taste it. The contrast between the vivid red exterior and rich purple interior makes it one of the most visually striking dragon fruits you can grow, and the flavor backs it up.
