Medusa is a compact, eye-catching ornamental pepper named for its wild tangle of upward-pointing cone-shaped fruits — like Medusa’s snaking hair. Unlike most ornamental peppers, Medusa is non-pungent, making it a safe and child-friendly option for homes and classrooms. Fruits ripen through a beautiful progression from ivory to yellow, orange, and bright red, creating a living rainbow on a compact, well-branched plant. Perfect for containers, windowsills, and garden borders.
