Grow Vibrant Heat with Hot Hungarian Wax Pepper Seeds

Spice up your garden and kitchen with Hot Hungarian Wax Pepper Seeds, a fiery heirloom variety that delivers big flavor and bold color. These robust plants produce 5" long, banana-shaped peppers that transition from pale yellow to golden orange and finally a striking cherry red. Perfect for short growing seasons, they thrive even in cooler weather, making them a must-have for any pepper enthusiast.

Why Choose Hot Hungarian Wax Pepper Seeds?

Originating in Hungary in 1941, these open-pollinated, heirloom seeds yield peppers with a Scoville heat rating of 5,000-10,000. Ideal for those who love a kick. Harvest early for milder heat (green-yellow) or wait for full maturity (red) for an intense spice. Their waxy texture and vibrant colors make them perfect for pickling, creating a stunning hot-pepper medley that elevates sandwiches and dishes year-round.

Easy to Grow & Highly Productive

Start your Hot Hungarian Wax Pepper Seeds indoors 8 weeks before the last frost. Plant in sterile soil, cover lightly, and keep moist with 85°F bottom heat. Germination takes 7-21 days. Transplant seedlings into rich soil or 5-gallon containers, spacing them 30" apart. In just 68 days, you’ll enjoy a bountiful harvest of peppers in varying heat levels-all from GMO-free seeds.
