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.
How to care for chilli Hungarian Hot Wax:
Grow on in a well-lit, warm location such as a sunny windowsill or greenhouse until all risk of frost has passed before moving them to their final growing positions outside, in a sunny spot, or keep in a greenhouse for earlier harvests and hotter fruits. Keep well watered and feed regularly with high-potash tomato food once the fruits begin to form.
Sowing instructions:
Start off indoors from Feb to May, sowing the seeds 1cm (0.5in) deep in trays and using multi purpose compost to cover them. Alternatively, sow two seeds per pot and select the strongest seedling after they emerge.
Pot up or plant out in a greenhouse from April to June, and when plants reach 20cm (8in) high, pinch out the tips to encourage more side shoots, as this will result in more peppers.
