Pepper varieties need to be planted AT LEAST 1,500 feet from one another
or they will cross.

If you'd like to save seed - and don't want to separate varieties - tie
Remay or cheesecloth around the branches before flower set. Once
flowers are present, shake the branches occassionally (peppers, like
tomatoes, are wind pollinated) to ensure fruit.
