The Hungarian Hot Wax, known as "Hot Banana", boasts a medium-thick wall fruit that matures from light yellow to red. Its strong upright plant growth allows for a bountiful harvest, with each pepper growing to about 5" long. Consider using these peppers fresh in salads or pickling them for a tangy addition to any dish. These dwarf, bushy plants can reach a height of 14-16" and are highly productive.
Start seed indoors 6-8 weeks before last frost. A heat mat helps to speed up the germination process. Optimum soil temperature for seed germination is 65-85 degrees. Peppers generally have long growing seasons and grow slowly during cool temperatures. Delay transplanting until your soil has thoroughly warmed up in the spring. A week before transplanting time, harden off plants by exposing them to an increasing number of hours outdoors each day. Peppers are less cold tolerant than tomatoes.
