Overview
Hungarian Hot Wax (Hungarian Wax) is the yellow wax pepper with a moderate kick. Plants 20 to 24 inches tall carry tapered, carrot-shaped pods 6 to 8 inches long and 2 inches wide, light green at 58 days, then waxy yellow and finally bright red. The heat is present but not fierce, which is why it is the classic pepper for pickled rings and for stuffing. Pick at the yellow stage for pickling or let some go red for a sweeter, hotter pepper.
