A rare hot paprika variety! An old Romanian heirloom prized for its rich flavor and dependable yields. 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.
Planting Instructions: Start Târgu Mures pepper seeds indoors under lights 3-6 weeks before last spring frost. Transplant after all danger of frost has passed, spaced 2' apart. Keep soil slightly moist but do not overwater.
Seed Saving Instructions: While wearing gloves, remove Târgu Mures pepper seeds from the tastiest, fully mature fruit. Or use a blender with a very low setting-- place fruits with plenty of water and slowly blend. Strain out seeds. Dry seeds on a screen or cloth.
