Medusa peppers are thick on low growing bushes.
Medusa seems to be an overachiever among ornamental peppers. Her rivals, Chilly Chili and Bolivian Rainbow, have yet to reach this level of productivity. (More about that tomorrow.)

Close-up of Medusa peppers
Medusa’s little peppers are sweet and edible. They start out whitish green and change to yellow, orange and red. The bushes grow about 8 inches tall with a low, spreading habit.
