Rare Chillies

We raise our rare chillies ourselves as young plants in Illmitz, Burgenland, Austria. This category brings together rare and unusual chilli varieties for collectors, gourmets and anyone looking for special plants beyond the ordinary.

Special varieties in our range

Our rarities include eye-catching varieties such as Black Scorpion Tongue with its dark, tongue-like pods, the striped Pink Tiger, the decorative Hallows Eve and the colourful Candy Cane Chocolate Cherry. We also grow unusual shapes such as T-Rex Mustard, Thors Thunderbolt, Zebrange and the Peruvian Aji Charapita.

For collectors and gourmets

Rare chillies are for everyone who values looks, rarity and unusual character as well as heat. Many of these varieties belong botanically to the species Capsicum chinense or Capsicum baccatum and also appear in our Heat level 10+++ category, as rarity and heat often go together here.

Rarities for tomatoes too

If you enjoy special and rare varieties in general, you will also find them in our Tomato Rarities – the same philosophy applies there to unusual tomato varieties.

Ordering rare chillies

Pre-orders open in early January. Plants ship in spring, once the young plants are strong enough for transport. You will find the full range of our chilli plants in the main Chilli Plants category.
