Pepper Seeds - Hot - Black Hungarian

Black Hungarian peppers grow about 30-36" tall. Mild heat and great flavor. We dry the peppers and grind them into our own spicy Organic Hungarian paprika. I honestly didn't know what to expect from these peppers and should have planted out more, because now we are addicted to the sweet-hot-spicy flavor. We don't recommend transplanting them out till late May or early June. At harvest, remove the seed cut into strips and dry on a fruit dryer for making your own paprika. Once they are really dry, we zip them up in a coffee grinder. You need a lot of peppers to make just a tiny bit of powder so plan ahead.

Soil Preference:	Well-draining, loose (sandy loam), slightly acidic (6.5 pH), and moisture retaining. Too much nitrogen in the soil may lead to more foliage production and less fruiting, similar to tomatoes. Peppers also need sufficient amounts of phosphorus and calcium. We recommend using a balanced fertilizer for the best results.
Temperature Preference:	Warmer (70-85 F). During high heat, foliar and flower development slow or pause until temperatures return to the preferred range.

Other

Direct Sow:	No
Start Indoors:	Yes Start Indoors 7-9 weeks before your last spring frost date. Harden off and transplant when seedlings are 6-8 inches tall. Bury the stem slightly deeper than the root ball. Avoid planting hot and sweet peppers right next to each other, as they can cross-pollinate, potentially affecting the flavors of your harvested peppers.
Pepper Pollination:	Peppers have perfect flowers (male and female parts) and will self-pollinate. However, wind and pollinator activity may increase success rates of fertilization and fruit production.

Scoville Heat Units:	# to #
Heat Level:	Mild - 100 to 2,500 on the Scoville Scale. Example: Poblano Ancho or Pepperoncini

Germination Temperature:	80-90 F
Pests and Diseases:	Peppers are commonly susceptible to cutworms, aphids, flea beetles, bacterial spot, Phytophthora, sunscald, and blossom end rot. To avoid or reduce problems with pests and diseases, stick to a regular watering schedule (drip irrigation is preferred), plant into well-draining soils, and utilize practices such as crop rotation. When taking pest control measures, consider utilizing integrated pest management principles by using mechanical removal, biological control, and other cultural practices before turning to chemical agents.
Garden Size:	Greenhouse, Garden Plot, Raised Bed, Container
