| Positive | mrstedger | On Mar 6, 2010, mrstedger from Raleigh, NC (Zone 7b) wrote: Black Hungarian is a beautiful & ornamental pepper plant with green and purple leaves. The plants in my garden were much more purpley and variegated than the pictures shown. I planted it along with Red Burgundy Okra and purple basil. Placed several plants less than a foot apart to prevent sun scald and to achieve a hedge-like appearance around the okra.
A very mild mannered 'hot' pepper with just enough kick that my toddler can tolerate. When picked young the black hungarian boasts a green interior that looks lovely when diced in salsa or sprinkled with cilantro. I don't know why SSE rates this pepper at a 3, even when allowed to turn red it doesn't compare to the Fish?
A prolific producer that continued until frost, with a nice boost in blooms and crop once fall's cooler weather settled in too. |

_________________________
9/29/2005 -- This pepper has really turned out to be a winner. It is quite mild when it is black (like a Jalapeņo). When it turns red, it gets HOT. |
| Neutral | Farmerdill | On Oct 21, 2004, Farmerdill from Augusta, GA (Zone 8a) wrote: Matures in 75 days. Unique, black colored fruit that are the shape of a Jalapeno. They are mildly hot and have a delicious flavor. The tall plants also have beautiful purple flowers that make this variety very ornamental. Rare and colorful! |
