How to Save Seeds 

Peppers are self pollinators, but will cross within the same species much like squash so it's best not to plant two of the same species. Separate by at least 500ft. Once peppers are ripe on stalk and fully dry harvest them cut open and scoop out seeds. Allow to dry for a week or so. Dry method works great.

    These guys are spicy! They are very prolific though and will produce a ton of peppers. They are yellow, but have tinges of purple as they grow. These had an excellent Germination rate to. Good company to order seeds from.
