Varieties for different climates

When choosing any variety, the conditions of its growth should be taken into account. They must be observed, because this is one of the main prerequisites for an excellent seedling from the seeds for further planting in open ground.

Consider the varieties of sweet peppers that are optimal for cultivation in the Moscow region. Early ripening varieties that will grow and bear fruit well in the Moscow region include: Orange miracle, Rhapsody, Semko, Fidelio, Buratino, Winnie the Pooh, Funtik, Atlantic, Agapovsky, Eroshka and Chardazh. All these varieties in a given natural and climatic zone will give excellent yields, while not requiring certain additional care in excess of what is necessary.

The subspecies of the average ripening period, suitable for growing in the climatic conditions of the Moscow region, include: Gift of Moldova, Golden Rain and Volzhanin. In terms of yield, they are significantly inferior to early maturing species (about 6 kg per m2) and produce fruits of average weight (from 70 to 100 g).

However, these species are not at all suitable for cultivation in more severe climatic zones, for example, in Siberia or the Urals. Despite the rather harsh climate in these areas, it is possible to grow even such a plant, which is rather unusual for these latitudes. But here you will need to make much more effort to care for this plant. It is much more difficult to get seedlings from seeds, it will be necessary to additionally cover it during cold periods, etc.

The types of sweet peppers of early maturity, which are well cultivated in Siberia, include the following types: Kolobok and Topolin. Both have weak growth properties and produce relatively large fruits.

Mid-season species suitable for these natural and climatic conditions include: Swallow, Firstborn of Siberia, Gift of Moldova, Victoria.
