Cayanetta pepper plants (hybrids)
Cayanetta pepper seeds, mildly hot, I eat them in the garden..
The only place I found them was at Twilley's seeds.
Their named hybrids and I am saving seeds from last season.
At $9.00 per 10 seeds I try to adjust when I can.
The plant itself is one of the most lovely I've seen, especially when the peppers turn red.
I've been growing them in 8 - 10 gallon containers, along with plants in my beds.
When season was over I tried to pull the plant out of the container, when I finally did
I found the entire ball full of roots.
Using M.M. and watching watering, along with lots of sun this pepper plant grows vigorously.
I have been reading where hybrid seeds aren't good to save, however at this price I'm
going to try. Your thoughts on hybrid vs heirloom seeds ?
Pictured is 1 of 5 plants I had...( deer won't touch them )
This is the young plant, I had a marigold in that finally was removed.
This is plant in full bloom, lots of peppers are produced here.
Roots filled the entire container, I mean really filled...seemed like the roots ate the M.M.

Re: Cayanetta pepper plants (hybrids)
You can plant out hybrid seeds, that is how new OP varieties are made. What you need to do though is plant out quite a few and then cull those that are not true to what you want. From what I have read it takes about 7 cycles to stabilize the genetics to the new OP variety. Go for it!
