Târgu Mures produces tapered, 3.5" long peppers that ripen from pale yellow to bright red with thick flesh and jalapeño-level heat. Excellent for fresh eating, pepper flakes and powder, hot sauces, roasting, and traditional paprika-style dishes, this versatile pepper brings beautiful color and flavor. Great early production and cool-weather tolerance for mountain gardeners.
