Hungarian (Leutschauer) Paprika
Don't be in a rush to get these planted! Peppers like warm or hot days and will be stunted if planted too early in the season. Wait until all threat of frost is gone. Plant in full sun in fertile soil with organic material worked in. Avoid too much nitrogen especially before fruit sets. Pick off early flowers to encourage strong stem and root growth, which will help more fruit set later.
You may preorder your seedlings through March 10th, after which limited stock will be available. Shipping is not available at this time for plants. Seedlings are available for local pick up and drop sites (additional drop site fee) near Clear Lake, MN. Pick up dates are variable based on frost dates but will be on average mid-May. Payment is due before pick up, which will be arranged once planting time gets closer.
