C. baccatum does not need Isolation?

greenthumbomaha · April 5, 2019

I started two plants of Aji Crystal, and have one survivor of Lemon Drop. Both are are medium high on the scoville scale and are of the species baccatum.

I was very surprised to read that this species can be safely grown among sweet peppers with no danger of cross pollination. Good news to me, as I would like to save seeds of sweet peppers without unwanted heat.

Verification that I am understanding correctly please, and suggestions on other peppers that can be grown in the same bed without cross pollinating.
