| Grew these this year in my search for a flavorful, productive bell pepper that can take our short, cool summers. What I like is the very slightly spicy flavor and thick wall. Also, the pretty color which looks great in the basket next to the yellow banana peppers. However, I have seen this great color fade when the cut edges come in contact with vinaigrette dressing. \'Lilac\' bell is not particularly productive. Only a couple of peppers got beyond 3\" long. And kind of late for here. Production in our containers and raised beds was about 1/4 of \'New Ace\' or \'Sweet Banana.\' And in this wet year, a few fruit rotted (not at the blossom end) at maturity. But with its eating qualities and color, \'Lilac\' is a valid choice for us here with limited options. I am still searching... |

| This is a very eye appealing bell pepper. Lavender in color, it shapes up nicely and yield well in a cooler climate. Very prolific in SW Virginia, but struggles in this part of Georgia. Seems more subject to sunscald than green bells. |
