Purple Haze Dragon Fruit

✓ Verified

United States (hybrid)

Purple Haze, named after the Jimi Hendrix song, continues the same rock-and-roll dragon fruit naming tradition as Physical Graffiti and its relatives, and it has become popular specifically because magenta-fleshed dragon fruit varieties like this one are generally self-fertile, sparing growers the hand-pollination that many red-fleshed hybrid cultivars require.
