Growing Information
Growing Medusa Pepper
‘Medusa’ is an eye-catching pepper prized for its twisted fruits and compact ornamental growth. Named for the serpent-like hair of the mythological Medusa, plants can display 40 to 50 upright peppers at once in shades of ivory, yellow, orange, and bright red.
Start ‘Medusa’ indoors for transplanting. Plant seeds about ¼ inch deep, space plants about 24 inches apart, and grow in full sun. Its compact growth habit makes this variety especially well suited to smaller gardens.
Ready to mature in about 72 days, enjoy the colorful peppers as they develop through their range of shades.
Colorful, compact, and edible, ‘Medusa’ is excellent for ornamental edible plantings as well as fresh eating and everyday cooking.
