Ho Chi Minh Pepper? - Page 2

Hoosier_Daddy · March 26, 2015

This is the second year in a row that I was unable to buy Ho Chi Minh seeds. I could only find two suppliers on line and both of them were sold out as of mid January. Normally I would just say Que Serra Serra, what ever will be, will be......... but a friend of mine loves these peppers.

Turns out there were only 3 seeds stuck in the bottom corners of my 4 year old seed packet. Fortunately all three sprouted and are growing well. I will try growing one of these in a grow bag far away from my garden so I can collect a good stash of seeds for next year and hopefully those seeds are not a hybrid from cross pollinating with some other pepper.

Does anybody know if Ho Chi Minh goes by another name?

I tried growing Golden Cayenne last year because it looked almost the same as Ho Chi Minh but Golden Cayenne was like 5 times hotter and not the same flavor as Ho Chi Minh.
