This child-safe variety bears non-pungent fruit, making it ideal for indoor and outdoor use in both public and residential areas. The F1 vigour makes it excellent for large containers and landscape use where larger plants are preferred. The ornamental fruit holds extremely well, starting out greenish yellow, gradually changing to orange and maturing to dark red. Each fruit is 2 to 2.5 in. (5 to 5.5 cm) long, but slightly wider, more blunt-nosed and less twisted than Medusa. Overall plant size is about 30% larger than Medusa. Recommended for 4.5 to 6-in. (11 to 15-cm) pots. Crop time is similar to Medusa. All-America Selections Winner.
