In recent years I’ve gotten interested in breeding peppers. I’ve already created a few new varieties, and I’m working on about a dozen more. Along with the peppers in this video, I hope to make more available at some point. Update: The seeds for these peppers are now available on Matt’s site. His website is at https://www.mattspeppers.com
He is also on Instagram and Facebook.
In the interest of full disclosure, I do benefit from my seeds sold on Matt’s site.
Please let us know if you’ve ever grown any of my peppers. Thanks for watching!

That's what I'm talking about! Congrats on your pepper releases š
Those Midwest Midnight Oranges look amazing!!
I definitely want the Jimmy Nardello cross because we love frying peppers and the variegated pepper because itās lovely.
What exciting news! Iāll be checking Mattās store for sure.
You have a lot of interesting pepper projects. Congrats. I think I would like the cross between the Corbacki (I hope I spelled that correctly) and the Jimmy Nardelo. I didn't get a lot of Jimmy Nardelo peppers when I grew them, i didn't plant enough plants.. I did like their taste.
I hope you have a great time with your crosses this winter. Take care and have a great weekend.š¦š¦š¦š¦š¦
So exciting. Congratulations! I definitely want to get some of these seeds. Happy Thanksgiving.
Good Morning Jim – What great news about your pepper variations being available for sale! Will watch Matt's Peppers to see if I can get some seeds. Love Jimmy Nardello peppers too. Have a wonderful weekend and take care..
They've come so far! Finally getting into breeding myself but with corn. Hope you have a great weekend!
Lol. Told you, it's addictive! Best to you on sales Jim.
Hope you having a lovely weekend. Youāve done some awesome work with these pepper projects. Iām glad that youāre sharing the āfruitsā of your hard work with others. Good going, mate. Cheers!
Fantastic looking peppers!
Thank you Jim! It will only be a few more days. Getting close here!
Glad to hear you'll have more seeds on Matt's this year. I've saved my own seeds from the Midnight Eclipse with the long pods. Plan to try some of these, and more of the ones you provided, next year as it is one of the most beautiful pepper plants I've grown — and all the other ornamentals with similar leaves are F1 hybrids.
Since it's November, I'm trying to learn more about how peppers and tomatoes can survive frosts. My Old Garden is still lush with peppers and two still-producing tomatoes — I covered most of it twice during 28F nights. The sunny allotment bed was 100% killed by frost. My New Garden, which i never covered, took some damage (mostly to C. Annuum peppers) but other species were fine. I'm puzzled why there are such big differences in frost survival rates, i'm convinced there are more factors than just raw temperature. I think I need to deploy more temperature sensors.
We canāt eat too much heat, but love growing peppers! You are a spectacular artist and we enjoy your creations. Thank you for the little wonders you bring into this world.
Some really great and unique varieties. Thanks for the share!
Love all of crosses! Looking forward to growing more this season. Itās surprising how well everything germinated.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.
Lovely
