Anita, I see this here & there. As far as I know & have read on the Internet, there is no pepper that can't be eaten. The bonus is that most ornamentals are small in size & that usually means high in heat. As usual, there's always the exception & the only 1 I know of is Medusa. I have lots of varieties if your interested for next year. Hope this helps, Paul ----- Original Message ----- From: "Anita Perron" <porch@mts.net> Sent: Saturday, 07 December, 2002 2:12 PM Subject: [CH] ornamental peppers > Are ornamental peppers only what their name says--to use as an > ornament? or are they also edible? > Anita
