Krasnaya Zhemchuzhina

Red Pearl is an early-maturing and high-yielding hybrid of sweet pepper, intended for cultivation in greenhouses, temporary plastic covers, and open ground. The plant is compact, bushy, of medium height (55 to 130 cm depending on growing conditions), with good foliage. The ripening period varies from 59-67 days to 100-110 days, allowing for harvest at different times depending on the chosen cultivation technology.

The pepper fruits are conical, fleshy with wall thickness of 6-8 mm, average weight from 75 to 140 g. In technical maturity, they have a light lemon or green color, while in biological maturity — deep red. The fruits have a spicy, very aromatic flavor with a delicate skin. The hybrid is drought-tolerant, has good transportability and storability, making it convenient for storage and transportation.

Cultivation is carried out by seedlings, sown at the end of February and transplanted into greenhouses or open ground at the end of May. After transplanting, lateral shoots and lower leaves should be removed, and plants should be tied to supports. Regular watering, weeding, loosening, and fertilizing are necessary for successful growth. Red Pearl is versatile in use: suitable for fresh consumption, culinary processing, and canning.
