Hungarian Hot Wax is a classic variety whose thick, juicy fruits start bright yellow-green and ripen through orange to deep red. So the flavour can be adjusted by the time of picking.

Its heat is 5,000 - 15,000 SHU, mild to medium, and the flavour is fresh and sweet with a light citrus note. The firm skin makes the fruits easy to handle, and the variety suits stuffing, frying, preserving and fresh use in salads and salsas.

The plant is strong and early-yielding and copes with cooler climates too, in a pot, a bed or a greenhouse.
