Planting Instructions for Hungarian Yellow Wax Hot Pepper Seeds
Hungarian Yellow Wax Peppers are heat loving plants that are easy to grow, and do well in a variety of climates. Start seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost. Soaking Hungarian Yellow Wax Pepper Seeds for 2-8 hrs before planting helps speed germination. Plant ¼” deep in chosen containers. Germination will occur in 8-25 days at 75-90°F.

Plant Hungarian Yellow Wax Peppers in full sun, spacing about 12-18″ apart, in rows 24-30″ apart. For a more mild flavor, Heirloom / Open Pollinated Hot Peppers can be harvested once they reach full size and are still green.
