"These c. flexuosum seeds are very rare, hard to find, and difficult to grow, and I really applaud Richard at Small Island Seed for distributing these and popularizing them on his youtube.
That said, I have had much better success with c. flexuosum from other providers (not on etsy). I have purchased these from Small Island Seed three times now and only have had one seed germinate. Meanwhile I have six c. flexuosum growing from the seeds I sourced elsewhere. I'm sure its nothing intentional but I am curious if perhaps the plants are planted closely in proximity to other capsicums or if processing is somehow affecting the germination rate.
Either way, I am happy to have these and its extremely important to increase the genetic diversity of this rare species within our gardens."
