Hot Chilli Plants (Heat Level 8-10)

We raise our chilli plants with heat level 8-10 ourselves as young plants in Illmitz, Burgenland, Austria. This category brings together intensely hot varieties for everyone who wants noticeable heat combined with strong flavour – a clear step up from mild and medium-hot chilli plants.

Very hot chilli varieties in our range

This category includes the classic Habanero Red, the Caribbean Scotch Bonnet Yellow, the tongue-shaped Devil's Tongue Yellow and the unusual 7Pot Bubblegum Yellow. The range is rounded off by special varieties such as Black Scorpion Tongue, Pink Tiger and the somewhat more cold-tolerant Rocoto Large Red.

Putting the heat into perspective

Buying chilli plants at heat level 8-10 means deliberately choosing heat that is noticeable but still manageable. If you want less heat, you will find what you need in our medium-hot chilli plants (heat level 4-7). If you want to go one step further, our super hot chilli plants (heat level 10+++) have the hottest varieties in our range.

Many varieties at this heat level belong botanically to the species Capsicum chinense, which also includes the classic habanero plants. If you are looking for particularly rare or unusual varieties, you will also find them in our Rare Chilli Plants category.

Ordering chilli plants with heat level 8-10
