| Having never grown peppers before I don't know, are pepper plants self-pollinating?

| Seedsavers.org says "peppers produce perfect, mostly self-pollinating flowers. Solitary bees will pollinate if a more desirable pollen is not available in the area." |

| Thanks, mudster I thought so but I wanted to be sure. Greg |

| yes, they are easily self pollinating but will also cross pollinate outdoors with other peppers if you have bees and such. if you are growing them inside or in a greenhouse than a fan works really well to give the flowers a shake in start pollination. kendra |
