Capscium Rhomboideum Seeds – 10 Fresh Seeds
Capsicum rhomboideum is one of the most intriguing wild chilli species, prized more by collectors and breeders than for culinary use. Native to Central and South America, this rare species produces clusters of tiny, round berries that ripen from green to glossy red, much like miniature jewels among the foliage. Unlike most chillies, it’s completely non-pungent—a true oddity within the Capsicum genus.
The plant itself is beautifully ornamental, with small rhomboid-shaped leaves (hence the name), delicate yellow star-shaped flowers, and an elegant, bushy growth habit that can reach 1–2 m in height under the right conditions. It’s also notable for its unique chromosome count, making it an important genetic resource for chilli hybridisation research.
Though the fruits aren’t used for eating, Capsicum rhomboideum is highly sought after by chilli enthusiasts for its rarity, unusual appearance, and historical significance within the wild Capsicum family. Perfect for collectors and growers fascinated by the wilder side of the chilli world.
