Seed Savers Hungarian Yellow Wax Hot Pepper

This early-maturing, prolific pepper is both deer-resistant and heat- and drought-tolerant. It's 5–6”-long, banana-shaped, waxy peppers pack four times more heat than a jalapeño (5,000 to 15,000 on the Scoville heat scale) and can be enjoyed fried, stuffed, or pickled. This variety grows well in containers, garden plots, raised beds, and greenhouses. Medium-hot. Heirloom, Non-GMO, Open-Pollinated.

Growing Instructions: Peppers love heat! They do best when started indoors and transplanted outdoors when the soil is warm.

• Start Indoors: 8 weeks before the last frost
• Sow seeds ¼” deep. Peppers germinate best in warm soil, so gentle bottom heat may be helpful until seedlings emerge.
• Germination: 14 days.
• Plant Outdoors: 12” to 24” when the soil is warm
• Light: full sun
