Geschiedenis & Cultuur
Hungarian farmers bred wax peppers from local heirlooms brought after Columbus’ voyages. By the 18th century, they were staples in markets across the Austro-Hungarian Empire. These peppers fueled Hungary’s love for paprikás and stuffed dishes. Immigrants to North America carried seeds, leading to the common supermarket “hot wax” pepper. Today, Hungarian Wax remains central to regional festivals and paprika production.
Plantkunde & Kweekinstructies
▼
Start seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before the last frost. Keep seedlings warm, then transplant into full sun after soil warms to 15°C. Plants reach 60 to 75 cm tall and produce continuously when picked often. Provide fertile soil, moderate watering, and occasional feeding. Harvest yellow pods around 65 days for pickling, or wait until red for drying and paprika.
