I've given my friend some chillis from my Firecracker plants. She asked me if she could grow some plants from the seeds of the chillis I've given her. I said I would check first with you folks to make sure that there aren't any problems in doing that. I'm thinking disease or not producing a crop,things like that?
If you like a bit of heat I can thoroughly recommend these chillis. They are getting hotter as the plant matures. :o
If the plant is an F1 maybe not. If it's not a hybrid then she should be ok to germinate the seed. You can germinate F1 seed but it doesn't come true so she might not get a Firecracker :)
The other thing is that chilis will cross-pollinate. So if she's growing them with other varieties of chilis, she might end up with a hybrid.
It may not come true if you've grown several varieties together.
Just googled and found that Firecracker is an F1 hybrid so not looking hopeful for your friend.
Okily dokily! Glad I asked. Thanks everyone :)
