Hungarian Hot Wax
One of the best chillies for growing in the British climate.
About this variety
One of the best chillies for growing in the British climate. Long and pointed fruits, starting green and ripening to red. This is a reliable, quick growing and heavy cropper producing early fruits that continue to appear throughout the season. It's a a really excellent variety, bearing long pointy peppers in attractive shades of green, yellow, orange and red. The distinct heat develops alongside the ripening colour, ranging from 1000-15000 scovilles making it a great multi-tasker in the kitchen. Delicious in chilli jam, perfect for pickling and drying as well as for using fresh, the spicy kick of a yellow hotwax stuffed with cream cheese are legendary for summer picnics. It will happily grow on a sunny windowsill, greenhouse or polytunnel. In some areas of the UK you can grow it outside in a sunny sheltered spot. (Approximate seed count - 22)
