Leutchauer is a Hungarian paprika from the 1800s. This site gives some information about it http://www.rareseeds.com/leutschauer-paprika-pepper/

Yesterday, I potted up eight each of the following:

Gemstone
Tabasco
NuMex Twilight


I'm growing them as ornamentals - even though I'm not sure if Tabasco is considered as an ornamental pepper. It was the first one we grew that the beauty of the peppers changed how I viewed vegetable gardening. Yes, it does taste good fresh or in sauce form, but its beauty lasts for over 100 days here. However, Tabasco and many other ornamentals are hotter than what my family likes. So I grow them more as you would a flower. The same goes for NuMex Twilight.

Gemstone is new to us. Finding info wasn't easy online. In my search, I had to add the word, "Seeds" to finally get the results I wanted... from where I should have looked in the first place - http://t.tatianastomatobase.com:88/wiki/Gemstone

I potted out eight of each to share some plants with other new gardeners so they could grow and experience them.
