Here’s a delicious variety that’s gorgeous from flower to fruit! The Black Hungarian Pepper stands 30-36 in. tall, showing off purple flowers, lovely green and purple foliage and mildly hot 3-4-in. fruit that changes from black to red as it ripens. Expect 70-80 days to maturity from transplant.
Each packet contains approximately 25-30 seeds.
Planting and Harvesting Tips:
Crops require full sun, fast draining soil and regular water. Peppers grow best when temperatures are warm and need substantial heat to set fruit. Start indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost or, depending on your climate zone, sow directly in the garden after the soil has warmed. Allow 1-1/2 feet between plants in all directions; provide support for varieties that grow over one foot tall.
Harvest fruits early and often — the more you pick the more they will produce. Always cut — do NOT pull — fruits from plants. Most varieties can be eaten when green or under-ripe, however, the flavor improves as plants mature.
