Yatsufusa Pepper Seeds
Grow a living firework in your garden with the Yatsufusa, a celebrated heirloom pepper from Japan. The name translates to "large cluster," and it perfectly describes the incredible way this plant grows. Get ready for a spectacular display as dense bunches of 6 to 10 slender, fiery peppers form at each node, all pointing straight up to the sky.
This plant isn't just for show. As the clusters ripen to a brilliant, uniform red, they develop a sharp, pungent heat that is a step above the classic cayenne. The Yatsufusa is a culinary powerhouse prized for its clean, straightforward fire, making it an essential ingredient in authentic Japanese cuisine. Its compact size and stunning appearance make it a perfect ornamental, while its potent heat makes it a powerhouse in the kitchen.
