This only matters if you're planning to save seeds.  If you're just growing for the fruit, peppers cannot cross to produce fruit other than what's in the genetic program.  That is, Habaneros planted with Lady Bells will still yield Habaneros during the same season.  More growing advice on my web site, below.

Hello growers,

I am looking for some guidance as to whether planting hot peppers and sweet peppers close together with potential for cross pollination  can affect the flavor of the peppers grown. In other words, will I get hot sweets and sweet hots?  I understand that peppers usually self pollinate, but can be crossed by insects.

I am not yet growing for market, but refining my growing techniques and trying to learn. I am thinking about marketing a hot sauce - seems like a good value added product.

Thanks in advance
Nancy in Corvallis Oregon
