The Hungarian Hot Wax pepper is a variety of conical yellow chiles that are 4–5 times hotter than the jalapeno pepper. Sturdy plants grow 45-61 cm (18-24") tall and 41cm (16”) wide. Peppers are on average 13-15 cm (5-6”) long and 2.5-4 cm (1½”) wide at the shoulder. They start out as a greenish yellow and become more yellow to orange and finally a bright red when they are mature. Peppers are waxy, smooth skinned and thick fleshed.
