Hungarian Hot Pepper: produce compact plants up to 60cm (24") in height. The fruit is smooth, waxy and bright yellow, but will mature to crimson if left on the plants.

 

A mix between a banana pepper and a hot chili pepper, these are great to have in the garden and don't have as long a harvest season, which also makes it an ideal 'Canadian' garden plant.

 

Planting Guide: Start indoors, about 8-10 weeks before the last seasonal frost. Heat lamp recommended. Full sun. Sow 1/4" deep in well drained containers. Harden before transplant once the soil is above 15 degrees celsius and has been worked. Sow about 12" apart. Water regularly. Mulch recommended. Full sun is required, however, if wilting starts, provide some shade.

 

Harvest: About 70 days after transplant and relative to preference - the longer the pepper is on the plant, the hotter it is in taste. That said, failure to pick at earlier stages will effect overall production of the plant. Use knives or scissors to remove ripened peppers.

 

Friendly Neighbours: cucumbers, tomatoe, squash, oregano, parsley and rosemary
