These stunning, jalapeno-shaped peppers transition from bright green to a deep, jet-black, and finally to a vibrant scarlet red as they ripen.
 
The productive 60 cm (24") plants are loaded with medium-heat peppers, perfect for adding a touch of drama to dips, salsas, and other dishes.
 
As they mature, their flavor becomes even brighter, and their striking color makes them stand out at market stalls. Black Hungarian peppers are great for patio containers, but be sure to keep the soil consistently moist and ensure good air circulation around the plants.
 
With a mild heat range of 1,000–2,500 SHUs, they’re a perfect substitute for jalapenos when you want a unique twist.
