Hot Hungarian Wax ORG

The Hungarian Wax is a bright yellow, medium-hot pepper that averages 5" in length and turns red when mature. The compact plants grow up to 24" tall and are very productive in short-season climates. Early and widely adapted, this is a great all-purpose pepper for processing and pickling, suitable for the home garden. 2,000 Scoville Heat Units.

Since the mid 16th century, the Hungarians have performed culinary marvels with both hot and sweet peppers. Hungarian Hot Wax pepper seeds come from a cross between the mild banana pepper, native to Hungary, with hot chile peppers. This new variety of hot pepper came to the United States in 1932 and gained immediate popularity.

Big and juicy banana-shaped waxy peppers grow 5” long on 3’ tall plants. Ripens from pale yellow to deep golden orange and finally cherry red. Very productive even in cool weather. Great for short seasons. This pepper originated from Hungary in 1941 and is also known as Hot Banana Wax. For milder peppers with less heat, harvest early when pale green-yellow. As the pepper matures to red it gets hotter. These look like sweet Hungarian peppers and the only way to tell them apart is the heat! sandwiches.Capsicum annuum. (68 days)

The many varieties of sweet and hot peppers thrive on full sun and warm weather. Cold temperatures can weaken pepper plants and they may never fully recover, so don’t rush to plant in the spring. Be certain to use the black side of the mulch covers to speed soil warming and early growth, but be careful, as they can also overheat the plants in certain climates. Peppers can be temperamental if temperatures are too hot or too cool. Nighttime temperatures below 60°F or above 75°F can reduce fruit set. Peppers need a steady supply of water for their best performance, so be sure to check water levels each day. Like tomatoes, you may find blossom end rot on your peppers, which can be easily corrected. Peppers are prone to sun scald, so moving them to partial shade can help if temperatures become too hot. Sweet peppers can be cut up and eaten raw, roasted and marinated, sauteed; or used in stews, soups, and stir fry. Hot peppers can be pickled, added to stew, used in stir fry, and are excellent when dried and ground to be used as a seasoning to give nearly any dish a little kick.
