Amethyst not turning red

Labradors2 · August 13, 2018

I'm growing Amethyst bell peppers for the first time. They are healthy and absolutely loaded with beautiful purple peppers which I was expecting to turn red. When I investigated just now, it turns out that two peppers have rotted without turning red, and another looks as if it is turning brown, not red. There is no disease or insect damage and the leaves look healthy and dark green. Could this be due to the very hot weather we've been having? I thought peppers liked the heat.
