Agrofirms that are engaged in the development of new varieties of pepper and seeds, such as Gavrish, SeDek, recommend planting not varieties, but hybrids of pepper.

When pollinated, it produces seeds of the same variety. You can get seeds from the variety. For this, the most characteristic and best fruits are selected from the most developed bushes.

But it is impossible to get seeds from them, most often they will look like unremarkable grandparents.

Pepper claudio F1 reviews of gardeners:

• It turned out rather late, I did not blush for a very long time. But perhaps because of the cold, rainy summer. Grew up in open ground, without shelter. She covered it only in August, so that the fruits would turn red faster. I liked the taste - sweet, juicy. The wall thickness was 8-10 mm. The fruits were all the same size, but small on the bush. Perhaps in a greenhouse or in the exhaust gas under normal weather conditions it would have performed better. Germination rate is 100% - from 5 seeds all five germinated.
