Organic Chilli - Hungarian Hot Wax *NEW*

£3.00

Capsicum annum ~ approx. 12 seeds

We really love Hungarian Hot Wax Chillies and have found them to be one of the most reliable varieties for the Scottish climate.

The compact and prolific plants produce fruit that ripen early from green to yellow, orange and eventually to red. We recommend to pick the chillies any time after they turn yellow, the longer you wait, the deeper the colour, the spicier they will be. 

The ripe fruits are not blow your head off spicy but have a good heat to them and are therefore very versatile in the kitchen, great for pickling, stuffing or for adding a little spice to a dish.

 These seeds have been grown in the Highlands by our friends at

 The Natural Vegetable Company.

Growing Info

Sow indoors in flats with good potting soil as early as February, but no later than April. Keep warm and well-watered.  Pot on seedlings into 4” pots when they have their first two true leaves. Transplant out into the garden after the danger of frost has passed, typically early May in Highlands, Scotland.  Best grown undercover in our climate. Happy in large pots and can do well on a sunny windowsill.

What our customers say

Your seeds are just great! Always excellent germination rates. This is the second year we have had your Robinson peas which are really lovely and grow so well.

Lisa, Bridge of Allan

I thought you should know that your seeds have been wonderful. In an otherwise rubbish growing season, everything I bought from you has thrived. I’ve been eating purple mangetout and Carter’s Polish beans for weeks now and they’re still going strong.

Laura, North Kessock

Desert Spirit Landrace did exceptionally well in my polycrub here in the Western Isles - I even won the pumpkin growing competition that we put up for local growers and allotment holders.

Susanne, Isle of Lewis

I want to thank you for my Garden of Abundance. I’m a new gardener to Scotland and your seeds have given me such joy. I can hardly keep up with eating the rocket and I’ve planted my 2nd set of lettuce already.

Gay, Moray

My Black Isle broad beans are germinating after four days. How is that possible? ! Fab seed!

Janey, Highlands

I wanted to pass on the great success all of the seeds I bought from you have been.
Greatest success was ripe tomatoes (Scotland Yellow) on 7th of July - in Orkney!! Over two weeks later and none of my other varieties are even close to ripe.
