- [7 Pot Red](https://web.thecapsi.app/pepper/7-pot-red-pepper)

Troy Primeaux’s own account and multiple independent grower and catalog pages name the same parents and describe the line as stabilized after repeated generations in Louisiana. The Orange form is treated as a later color selection of the same cultivar.
