If you are a busy person and a tough pragmatist

Alas, nothing can be done about it, but pepper is not a plant for our climate at all, and our northern summer, as a rule, turns out to be far from affectionate in our Urals.

Therefore, pepper itself does not grow in our climate, and you will have to look after it a lot. If you are firmly convinced that you do not have enough energy and time to create supernatural conditions for the pepper, but at the same time you want to get a solid harvest of pepper, then you need to forget about the exotic and stop at the most cold-tolerant and high-yielding hybrids. There are not so many of them, but still there is a choice.

True, it should be borne in mind that their seeds are the most expensive, and you will pay a very, very decent amount for them. In general, the harsh principle: "the more expensive, the better", here, as a rule, works 100%. But believe me, these hybrids are worth it.

Atlant F1. This very large-fruited early ripe hybrid made a splash among amateur gardeners. The giant hybrid lives up to its name. Its powerful bushes reach a height of 1 m, and delight with a harvest of very beautiful elongated, dark red, very large fruits weighing up to 500 g with a wall thickness of 9-11 mm. A salad made from one pepper can feed the whole family. The hybrid is resistant to tobacco mosaic virus, is capable of producing excellent yields, and is the best of the sweetest varieties and hybrids available today.

Talion F1. Perhaps, today it is the largest hybrid. Its fruits are prismatic, elongated, deep red, can reach 800 g (!) And have a wall thickness of 9 mm to 1.5 cm. You will not find such a pepper wall in any other hybrid (there is no need to talk about varieties) … Naturally, such huge fruits can only form on very powerful plants - they reach a height of 120 cm. In our climate, it is also important that such powerful plants form an early harvest - 90-100 days pass from germination to technical ripeness.

Denis F1. An extremely popular hybrid, powerful and delicious. It enjoys well-deserved love among gardeners for large - up to 500 g, thick-walled - up to 1 cm, shiny red fruits. High resistance to the tobacco mosaic virus and early maturity allow you to get an excellent harvest of really sweet fruits, even in areas of risky farming.

Indalo F1. This reliable and very well-proven mid-season hybrid has been among the leaders in yield, fruit quality and unpretentiousness for several years. The only thing is that its fruits do not turn yellow quickly (in biological ripeness they are very beautiful, bright yellow), and most of them have to be processed in green form, but the quality is simply amazing. Huge fruits with thick walls (10 mm) and very tasty. In addition, the hybrid is very unpretentious and develops quickly, which is very noticeable, especially in the early stages of development. Plants 110-120 cm high.

If you have to compromise: "so that the seeds are not too expensive, but the plants are productive enough"

Alas, not everyone can afford the seeds of the highly productive above-mentioned hybrids. But don't panic. There are many interesting and fairly productive hybrids that can earn your recognition and not overspend. Although the harvest, of course, will be less, and the fruits will be not so large and not with such thick walls. But you will not be left without pepper: eat fresh and prepare it for future use. And you won't have to complain about the monotony here either - as in other groups, here you will also find hybrids with fruits of all colors and shades.

Gourmet F1. This is an early ripe (ripens in 95-100 days) and a fairly productive hybrid. The bushes are compact, medium-sized, 50-80 cm high. The bright red fruits, although not as thick-walled as in expensive hybrids, but the wall thickness of 6-8 mm is quite real.

Night F1. This mid-late hybrid is attractive for its very unusual, dark purple color of tasty fruits, which changes to bright red at the stage of biological ripeness. Its low plants are practically strewn with fruits, which, although not large, are very tasty and aligned - up to 2 kg of fruits can be obtained from each plant.

F1 Snegirek. An early ripe hybrid Snegirek is also worthy of your choice. Its fruits are large, trapezoidal, dark green at first, and then red with a wall thickness of 6-7.5 mm. The plants themselves are tall and in a greenhouse can reach heights of up to 1.5 - 2 m, they grow very intensively and bear fruit continuously. In addition, Snegirek is adapted to unfavorable northern conditions and low illumination, which is a serious plus in the Urals.

Freckle F1. This new early hybrid, perfectly adapted to unfavorable growing conditions, up to 1 m in height, is able to set fruit well even under adverse weather conditions. It features beautiful orange prismatic fruits with a wall thickness of 6-7 mm and a high dry matter, vitamin C and sugars content.

Ledoro F1. You will not go wrong if you opt for this high-yielding early maturing low (bush height 60-70 cm) hybrid. It is, of course, inferior to highly productive Dutch hybrids, but among the Russian ones it rightfully takes one of the prizes. The hybrid is very plastic to unfavorable weather conditions and will delight you with very sweet beautiful aligned large bright yellow cubic prism-shaped fruits with thick (7-9 mm) walls.

Violet F1. This early high-yielding tall hybrid will perfectly complement your colorful pepper collection. Its four-chambered, cube-prismatic with a wall thickness of 6-7 mm, fragrant and tasty fruits are at first light purple, and then gradually turn dark red. And the plants themselves are perfectly adapted to unfavorable weather factors.

Blondie F1. And if you really want to plant a fruitful, unpretentious and at the same time unusual pepper, then pay attention to the early ripe hybrid of Dutch selection under the name Blondie. Its beautiful cuboid fruits have rather thick walls (7-9 mm), and their color changes from ivory in technical ripeness to bright yellow in biological ripeness. The bushes themselves are strong and erect, but not high (60-80 cm). The hybrid is distinguished by excellent fruit set and complex disease resistance.

Jupiter F1. Such a big name was given to a new high-yielding mid-early hybrid of Dutch selection, which is adapted to a wide range of growing conditions, including it can be grown during our unpredictable summer. Its low (60-80 cm), but strong and well-leafy plants will delight you with a wonderful harvest of beautiful cuboid red fruits with rather thick walls (6-8 mm).
