Last year and the year before, I planted a few Red Savina seeds (as plants
started indoors).
They produced Red Savina habs as expected. However the late season (cover
to avoid the frost late) pods had very little heat.
The Red Savina is, as I understand it, a natural mutation discovered by the
GNS people. As I understand the situation, GNS kept reproducing the Red
Savina until they had commercial quantities of seed and still are the sole
producer of it.
It is supposed to produce true to type seed if you protect it from cross
pollination.
Jim C. knows more about this and perhaps it is time for him to add his
expertise to this thread.
