Lidl Palermo Peppers

I'd say they were the equivalent to sun gold in sweetness terms.

So I'm really hoping they are the same as the parent pepper I got the seeds from. They're certainly looking like it

I've taken a couple more pics because my ipad pics were cr@p

Superb Sp, mine have got a bit of catching up to do

[Mr Bones]

Mine are finally starting to look promising.

Similar here, Mr Bones.

Here's mine this week:

I've harvested one of mine! Needed a green pepper for a recipe. Even green they still have a lovely sweet taste.

Anyone's peppers even considering changing colour yet ? Mine definitely aren't.

[Mr Bones]

Ooh that's interesting SP, I've not tried a green one. No colour change yet, how about yours Chris, they look further on than mine.

Yes, mine have started to change, I have picked some Cayanne, Hungarisn hot wax. Also a couple of Madina. All turned red.

Even a month later, they're all still mainly green with some darker colour just starting to show.
Have eaten a couple green and happy with them. The poor summer has had a lot of things ripening late for me, but plants and fruits are still healthy and doing ok in the greenhouse.

When I was in a Liddle just across in the Czech Republic earlier in the year I saw some gorgeous long pointy orange peppers, and of course I wanted them for seeds. But I didn't have any Czech money left and they wouldn't accept Euro coins, so I had to leave them behind. And I haven't seen them in any of the Slovak Liddles I've checked in since then. I must go back across the border some day and see if they still have them. Any sign of them in the UK at all?

Not noticed any, but to be fair I'm going straight past the veg section at the moment
One or two of our Palermos' are turning nicely but lots are still green.

Same here, unfortunately mine has fallen over with the weight of peppers, taking it's cane support with it!
I can't stand them up again, I'm sure branches would snap. Apart from its horizontal appearance, it's doing very well.


This is my lamuyo ( seeds from another shop brought pepper )
3rd year growing these ( from the same lot of saved seeds), best year ever!!!
Yes. I'm just showing off .......but look at the size of that!
( that is my hand next to it, not a child's )

I take it you also have a small hand then SMALLPumpkin

They are a late variety by the sound of things...

Due to the long ripening process, the flavour of Sweet PalermoŽ develops more slowly than other peppers and is therefore more intense.

Not seen them in my local Lidl, but will watch out for them
