Cecei Sweet Hungarian Pepper (Capsicum annuum)
This beautiful sweet white pepper matures to a deep orange color and originates in the Transdanubian city of Cece, in Fejér county. Cece is known throughout Hungary for pepper production and this sweet variety is named after the town.
Cecei is similar in appearance to our Feher Ozon Paprika but the plants grow taller and the skin of the fruits is thinner. Cecei is a great variety for fresh eating. The fruits are tasty when enjoyed either white or when they mature to dark orange. The flavor is fruity when white and richer and more complex when orange.
Origin: We brought the parent seed of this beautiful and tasty Hungarian pepper to our garden from a trip to visit family in Hungary. The seeds came from the garden of a cousin in Szeged where parts of our family has lived for generations.
(Approximately 20 seeds per packet)
Germination Rate: All of our seed varieties exceed 80% germination and are re-tested every 6 months.
Planting Instructions: We recommend starting peppers indoors in a sunny and warm location 4-6 weeks before last frost in spring. Plant outdoors in full sun after danger of frost in spring. Note: pepper seeds need soil temperatures to be at least 70 F to germinate and we use a heating pad under the seedling tray to maintain temperature.
