How to Save Seeds
Peppers are primarily self-pollinating, but cross pollination can still occur between varieties within the same species. For maintaining seed purity, separate compatible pepper varieties by at least 500 feet whenever possible.
Allow peppers to fully ripen and dry naturally on the plant before harvesting for seed saving. Mature peppers should have fully developed color and firm healthy seeds inside.
Cut open the mature peppers carefully and scoop out the seeds. Spread the seeds out on paper towels, screens, or trays and allow them to dry completely for approximately one week.
Once fully dried, store the seeds in labeled airtight containers or envelopes in a cool dry location until ready for future planting.
