  • Lidl Palermo Peppers

    In Lidl the other day I picked up some Palermo pointed red peppers. They're very tasty and sweet so I've saved the seeds. World seeds site says they're suited to growing in cooler climates. I've had success saving seed from unknown varieties before but wondered if anyone here has grown Palermo in the UK.

        Mr B, yes they're a great variety. They were my best sweet peppers in 2015 and will be growing them again this year.
        PALERMO POINTED SEEDS (PEPPER)


        I have some spare self-saved seeds as part of my giveaway:

        I like to use them for something like this, although I leave out the anchovies and add some slices of mozzarella or mascarpone.

          Wow that's an impressive list of seeds Chris, I couldn't imagine the dedication and time it must have taken to collect so many. Really looking forward to growing Palermo now.
          Thanks for the feedback.

          PS that pepper dish makes me feel hungry

              Have three plants of this variety this year.
              Separated them out and potted them up today.

                  Ours too. In fact 100% germination and all 14 plants are looking good.

                    My Palermos are now 3 feet tall and good healthy plants

                    Plenty of flowers and small fruits, so feeling optimistic.

                      My Palermo are the best peppers I've ever grow. I'm really pleased with them.

                        Plenty of small fruit just starting. The plants don't look wonderful but they don't look too bad either. One of the smaller plants is sporting the biggest fruit at about 5 inches long.

                            Cut open a ripe pepper, separate the seeds out and leave them to dry before storing them in a paper bag or similar. With pepper seeds it's as simple as it sounds.

                              I may have to try some of them next year. They look fab!
