Sharm

Reliable Open-Field Pepper Performance

The "Sharm" pepper, developed by the Russian breeding company "Sedek," is a classic cone-shaped variety designed specifically for gardeners who prefer stable, time-tested results in outdoor conditions. Unlike many modern hybrids that demand controlled greenhouse environments, this variety is bred to withstand the nuances of open-field cultivation.

Key Characteristics and Agronomy

With a maturation period of 75–80 days, "Sharm" falls into the mid-early category. It hits the "sweet spot" for many growers: the plant consistently produces fruits weighing 120–160 grams that reach full biological maturity before the first autumn chills arrive. The 5–6 mm wall thickness offers a great balance; it is succulent enough for fresh salads yet firm enough to hold its shape during storage and transport.

• Color Progression: Transitions from a crisp green in technical maturity to a vibrant, market-ready red in biological maturity.
• Fruit Geometry: A distinct conical shape that makes these peppers exceptionally easy to slice or stuff.
• Resilience: The variety handles temperature fluctuations well, making it a reliable performer compared to more delicate, high-maintenance hybrids.

Is this the right choice for your garden?

"Sharm" is designed for the pragmatic gardener. If your priority is a predictable yield without the need for a high-tech laboratory approach, this is a variety you can rely on. It is forgiving of minor cultural mistakes and thrives on standard soil types. While it may not possess the extreme wall thickness of some "gourmet" thick-walled hybrids, its strength lies in its consistency and ease of harvest. It is an excellent choice for those looking for a versatile, all-purpose red pepper for cooking, canning, and daily use.
