Hungarian Hot Wax Pepper Seeds
Hungarian Hot Wax Peppers are a high-yielding, versatile pepper variety prized for their smooth texture, vibrant color, and balanced heat. These peppers start out a pale yellow wax color and mature to orange and red, offering a slightly sweet flavor with a mild-to-medium kick—typically ranging from 5,000 to 10,000 Scoville Heat Units. Their thick walls and crisp bite make them perfect for fresh eating, pickling, frying, or stuffing.
This fast-growing, productive plant thrives in warm conditions and produces an abundance of tapered peppers throughout the season. Ideal for home gardeners and market growers alike, Hungarian Hot Wax Peppers are easy to grow and reliable performers in a wide range of climates.

Growing Tips:
Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost. Transplant outdoors once temperatures are consistently warm and all danger of frost has passed.
