Hungarian Hot Wax Pepper from Proven Selections is a hot, thick-skinned pepper that is perfect for all types of cooking, topping off salads, and in salsa. It has more heat than a jalapeno and gets hotter the longer it is in your garden. Enjoy it's most mild flavor when the peppers are green, followed by slight heat at yellow-orange and the spiciest when it ages to red. Prepare stuffed, fried, grilled, or pickled. Dry, can, or freeze for later use. These peppers are so easy to grow, all you have to do it enjoy their spicy crunch!

The Eco+Grande features nutrients embedded in the container walls, which help plants grow bigger and faster throughout the season when planted in the ground. Be sure to remove the tabs from the container before planting. If you choose to plant in a container, we recommend taking the plant out of the Eco+Grande, breaking it apart, and mixing it into the soil at the time of planting. When the Proven Winners Eco+Grande container is discarded in the garbage can, it will naturally break down faster in a landfill than a traditional petroleum made container. The container will get smaller and smaller until microbes consume it, turning it back into an inert organic product. Learn more about this in our blog.
Care: Easy to care for. It loves heat and will thrive through the summer months. Fruit can be harvested until first frost. Fertilize weekly with Proven Winners Water Soluble Plant Food for best performance.
