Default Are there any sweet peppers with brown seeds?

Do you know any brown-seeded sweet pepper varieties?

I was asked if I could find any such seeds for our Belarusian Inst. of Veg. Gardening for their project with more desease tolerant new sweet pepper varieties.

How about hot peppers with such seed color? Do you know any of these?

Andrey, I'm no expert on this. Best to ask John Fiedler or John Taylor (both post here) or I can link you to someone else who is a REAL expert and willing to share.

Anyhoo, as far as dark-seeded chiles, pubescens species are the way to go.

Best,
Jennifer

PS Please email me your snail addy again; I have stuff to send you. :wink:

To my knowledge, the only peppers I have seen with brown / black seeds belong to the C. Pubescens family as Jennifer said.

Thanks to all for replies. I know about C.Pubescens, but also have heard about some sweet varieties with dark seeds...

Recently got some Manzano/Rocoto varieties from Australia, but they all are quite hot. Did anyone try any semi-hot or non-pungent C.pubescens varieties with brown-black seeds?

By the way, can C.pubescens be crossed with C.annum?

The crossability matrix in this faq from gardenweb might help.

Sorry to be so late in responding. I only occasionally check this forum and have had problems logging in the last week or so. (successful only 3 times) Am so happy to see is a more active forum lately.

There are no brown-seeded capsicums. Immature C. pubescens will have brown seeds that might or might not be viable. A mature color will be very dark brown or black.

C. pubescens will not cross with C. annuum. They will cross with C. eximium and C. cardinasii and from there you can continue to cross the hybrids with other species.

Jennifer,

How nice to 'hear' from you!!!!
