Pepper - Medusa
I got these seeds from an online auction. Medusa is an attractive ornamental pepper with dark green foliage and peppers that are held upright above the leaves on full display. The plant averages 6-8 inches tall, but can get up to 12 inches tall. The peppers are about 2-inches long and mature from creamy white to yellow to orange to red. The plant can have 40-50 peppers all at once in different maturity levels, making a colorful display piece. Grow it in a container, or in the ground.
Don't let the word "ornamental" scare you off. Medusa is rare in that it is actually a mild sweet pepper! That's right! Medusa only brings 0-1,000 Scoville heat units to the table! You can safely eat these fresh, even if you're not a fan of hot peppers! This Capsicum annuum can be grilled or added to your cooking too.
72 days to maturity
