Pepper, Kalocsa Paprika

(85 days) Capsicum annum

This is a genuine Hungarian variety bred for the making of high quality spicy Paprika. There are 2 types of paprika. Most people are familiar with the sweet, mild type, however, in the Balkan region where paprika originated as a spice (all peppers were from the new world but spread through trade), most people prefer the spicy type. Plants are 24-36" tall  and produces abundant yields of 6" long by 1 1/4" wide fruits that have thinner walls than our Feher Ozan Paprika which is a bit blockier and wider in shape, with thicker flesh.  Fruits mature from dark green to deep red. A wonderful heirloom from Hungary that you will be pleased to grow. It is at 250-500 heat units on the Scoville Scale. SSF. Heirloom
