chilli 'Hungarian Hot Wax'
chillies or Capsicum annuum 'Hungarian Hot Wax'
An early, hot variety, that is quite vigorous. It produces long, conical, light green fruits that turn yellow when ripe. An ideal plant for containers, it will flourish on a sunny patio or windowsill. It is an incredibly versatile pepper that can be eaten young when still very mild, or left to mature to develop serious heat.
Growing instructions:
Sow indoors - February to May. Sow 1cm deep in trays or alternatively two seeds per pot selecting the strongest seedling. Use multi purpose compost, to cover seeds. Plant out in a greenhouse April to June.
When plants reach 20cm high, pinch out the tips to encourage more side shoots and therefore more peppers. Feed regularly with a high-potash tomato feed when the fruits begin to form.
