Product Details

This Hungarian heirloom from 1941 is the traditional pickling type. It is very long, bright yellow, and thick walled. Not a pickler? Enjoy it fresh as a snack or in salads, throw it on the grill, or use in any recipe calling for sweet pepper. Peppers will turn to a orange-red if left on the plant. A good short-season choice and successful in containers. A 1941 All-America Selections award winner.

    These were my “Beauty Peppers” lol. I had seen going into planting them that they would not end up being beauty peppers after all and I knew I would be ok with that! And sure enough they were not but I am so happy with the outcome with this pepper plant! It has already produced so much before I could even get it in the ground and it was my first pepper that I harvested in the garden! I will be planting these next year!
