## Heritage

F2+

KS StarrRacha Pumpkin is an F2+ of KS Pumpkin Habanero and MOA Scotch Bonnet, still splitting and not yet a finished line.

Parents:
- KS Pumpkin Habanero (Not a named variety)
- MOA Scotch Bonnet (Not in Capsi yet)

Khang Starr's 2017 and 2019 reviews both name a pumpkin habanero crossed with an MOA Scotch Bonnet. Seed shops repeat that pairing. Saved seed still splits yellow and orange, so the released line is past F1 but not fully fixed.
