Carmen Sweet Pepper - Hybrid or not?

Mark0820 · September 11, 2011

I've noticed some seed companies list Carmen as a hybrid, and some just list it as Carmen (without the hybrid designation). Does anyone know with certainty whether this is a hybrid or not? I am going to save a few seeds if it is not a hybrid.

I am certain it is a hybrid, most places list it as such but the clincher for me is the AAS site, they state it as a Hybrid and I think they would have to be right to give it the 2006 AAS winner award.

Thanks Jeannine! I didn't think to check the AAS site.

I've also been under the impression that it is, unfortunately, a hybrid. Maybe one of these years when I give up on trying other ones, I'll save seed and give it a try.

It is an F1 hybrid.
