I've always been told they were poisonous to animals but I'm not sure. I do know they are extremely hot and that might be the reason for keeping the kids away due to the juice burning them. The ornamental pepper is Capsicum annuum conoides and also Capsicum annuum "Fiesta". Are you sure these are ornamental peppers and not a Jerusalem Cherry plant? The Jerusalem Cheery is NOT edible and there is a difference in the fruit. The cherry looks just that....round like a cherry. The botanical name for the J. Cherry is Solanum pseudo-capsicum so check the tag if you still have it. I researched the peppers and got this from one of my flower/plant books so this is all JMHO!! Please verify with your own research. <G> I've also referred your question to our friends on the Gardening and Especially Tomato Growing thread!
