What makes it special?
Mutant Blue X-Mas is an extraordinary Capsicum annuum rarity where the foliage alone is the real eye-catcher. We list the line as Mutant Blue X-Mas × Candlelight Mutant × RH Lilac.
Definitely our most exciting variety, with more chillies than leaves.
Typical are unusual leaf structures and intense blue, violet and green tones. Because this is a genetically special line, individual plants can differ in appearance and expression – that's exactly what belongs to this mutant variety.
We raise every plant ourselves in Illmitz and rate the variety at heat level 5.
Flavour & Use
Alongside its heat, it's above all the unusual plant itself that takes centre stage with Mutant Blue X-Mas. We rate the variety at heat level 5 – so a clearly noticeable, but not extreme, heat.
The fruit can be used fresh, sliced small in stir-fries and rice dishes, fermented or dried. Because this is such a special line, an exact, generally valid SHU figure isn't meaningfully documented.
We recommend judging the variety by more than yield alone: its strength lies just as much in its unusual leaf and plant form.
Fruit & Plant
Mutant Blue X-Mas belongs to Capsicum annuum. The line combines Mutant Blue X-Mas, Candlelight Mutant and RH Lilac, and can accordingly show unusual leaf and colour traits.
Our plants in the greenhouse reached about 50 cm in height, which makes them ideal for pot growing.
Especially with mutant lines like this, one parent trait can come through more strongly in the next generation. That's why a single plant can differ from a reference photo.
Depending on expression, the fruit shows dark violet to blue tones and continues to ripen further. The real standout feature, though, remains the striking foliage.
Growing & Care
For Mutant Blue X-Mas, we recommend a full-sun, warm and sheltered spot. Plenty of light supports the bold colouring, though young plants can initially look noticeably greener and more inconspicuous.
For pot growing, we recommend at least 8 litres, ideally 10 litres of soil volume. If you have the space, 15–20 litres is ideal.
The substrate should be nutrient-rich and well-draining. Water evenly, but avoid waterlogging. With unusually shaped or variegated leaves, somewhat slower growth isn't automatically a care mistake – it can be part of the mutant phenotype.
The plant is frost-sensitive but can be overwintered frost-free.

Mutant Blue X-Mas – an extraordinary chilli mutant
Mutant Blue X-Mas isn't a classic chilli where only fruit size and heat matter. What makes it special is its mutant genetics with striking foliage. We list our line as Mutant Blue X-Mas × Candlelight Mutant × RH Lilac. Individual plants can therefore show different parent traits more strongly. That variance is exactly what makes it a genuine chilli rarity.
Why doesn't Mutant Blue X-Mas always look the same?
With mutant and cross lines, leaf colour, leaf shape and growth can vary from plant to plant. A young plant can initially look fairly green and only develop clear violet or blue tones with stronger light. At the same time, individual generations can lean more towards one parent. With this variety, that's not a quality issue – it's part of its character.
How hot is Mutant Blue X-Mas?
We rate the variety at heat level 5. There's no reliably standardised Scoville measurement for this exact line, so we don't quote an artificially precise SHU figure. The fruit can be used fresh, in stir-fries, for ferments, or dried.
A chilli for collectors and balconies
Its extraordinary look makes Mutant Blue X-Mas especially exciting in a pot. The plant stays small and highly decorative, with more chillies than foliage. Plenty of sun supports the pigmentation; at the same time, like other chillies, the plant needs even watering without waterlogging. At least 8 litres of pot volume makes sense, ideally 10 litres; 15–20 litres is ideal. Another decorative variety with striking variegation is the Candy Cane Chocolate Cherry.
Overwintering Mutant Blue X-Mas
The plant is frost-sensitive but can be overwintered frost-free. Especially with a rare mutant plant, that can be worthwhile if you'd like to keep a particularly beautiful phenotype.
Absolutely recommended! I’m completely impressed with this chili plant seller. The quality of the plants is outstanding – strong, healthy, and clearly grown with passion and expertise.
The absolute highlight for me, however, was that this seller is one of the few places that offers my all-time favorite variety, the Lemon Drop chili. I’ve finally found a reliable source for this fantastic variety!
Shipping was fast, and the plants were perfectly packaged, so they arrived in excellent condition. I can wholeheartedly recommend this seller to any chili lover looking for top quality and fast delivery. I will definitely be ordering here again!

#1 Spice supplier
Super friendly service when buying chili plants, and the products are truly excellent. My #1 source for heat :) The ultimate compliment came from an Indian colleague who said that with Tschida chili sauces, he can finally enjoy the level of heat he knows from home here in Europe!

Simply top!
Tschida Tschili – where heat and flavor come together in perfect harmony. The chili products are simply outstanding. I love spicy food, but many products just burn your tongue without delivering any real flavor. With Tschida Tschili, it’s completely different. For an experienced palate, everything is very enjoyable. The flavors are perfectly matched to the level of heat, resulting in truly delicious products.
I visit the farm from time to time as part of my culinary tours with groups. What can I say? Jan and his family are simply the perfect hosts – friendly, authentic, and genuinely local. I always really enjoy visiting you!
