Bring a touch of drama to your garden with these striking heritage chilli peppers. Hungarian Black produces glossy, purple-black fruits that ripen to deep crimson, set against rich green foliage veined with violet. Both edible and ornamental, this mid-heat variety is as beautiful in borders and containers as it is productive in the kitchen.
Early to fruit and long cropping, Hungarian Black performs best in a greenhouse, tunnel, or a sunny, sheltered outdoor spot. Plants are compact and branching, especially when pinched out early, and produce clusters of chillies with a smoky sweetness and gentle kick—perfect for fresh salsas, pickling, or drying.
Whether you grow them for flavour, colour, or to attract pollinators with their lilac flowers, these chillies never disappoint.
