Due to the long growing season, pepper is considered a difficult crop to grow. In this regard, species with early ripening are highly valued. Saplings of the Zdorovye variety are planted in greenhouses. The plant is able to fully develop and bear fruit in the northern regions due to its resistance to lack of light.

Tall plants are great for cultivation in greenhouses, where every meter of the area in the horizontal plane is important. The fruits of the sweet variety received a universal purpose, which also influenced its popularity.

Vigorous bushes reach a height of 140-170 centimeters. This growth makes the variety stand out from the rest of the sweet pepper varieties.

Medium-sized vegetables, the length of which reaches 8.5-12 centimeters. The diameter ranges from 5 to 6.4 centimeters. The shape is standard, resembling a prism. The weight of one fruit is about 33-41 grams. In the process of ripening, the green color of the fruit gradually changes to light green when technical ripeness is reached. When fully ripe, they turn bright red. At this point, seeds ripen, which can be collected and used to grow seedlings for the next season.

The surface of the vegetables is covered with small waves. Wall thickness - 3-4 millimeters. Pepper Appearance Health is often compared to hot pepper.
