Both Black Pearl and Tangerine Dream are edible, however, plants grown as ornamentals may well have had systemic pesticides used on them, and thus, may not be safe to eat. If the plant tag says non-edible, it means they have had chemicals used on them that are not safe for human consumption. You can, however, save the dried fruits and grow your own. Pepper plants are actually perennial if protected from cold.
