Relative to what Barb posted above, there are four strains of Stupike, known to us as Stupice.

Two were bred for outside growing and two for glasshouse growing.

The only maion difference between them is plant habit.

I've grown Stupike sent to me by Reinhard Kraft in Germany, in a commercial pack, and my own Stupice I've had for years and saw no real difference.

The only Stupike that is widely available is one for outside growing b'c the others have never been widely distributed yet are still maintained in the Czech seed bank.

Frankly, I prefer the taste of Matina, which is a PL lookalike and growalike, over Stupice.
