Lyudmila

Lyudmila (Ludmila) is a Ukrainian sweet pepper prized for its early set, glossy color, and dependable yields in both open beds and small tunnels. Compact, branching plants carry heavy clusters of thick-walled pods that size up quickly, turning from rich green to deep, market-red. The walls are crisp and juicy, perfect for fresh salads, stuffed dishes, sheet-pan roasts, and quick pickles. Flavor leans clean and sweet with a mild, garden-fresh aroma that holds up when roasted and peeled. Plants are easy to manage in containers or raised beds, responding well to steady moisture, mulch, and a light stake once the clusters get heavy. Regular picking keeps blossoms coming, so you’ll see a steady parade of fruits through warm weather. Gardeners in variable climates appreciate its resilience and reliable color even when nights run cool.This selection delivers classic sweet-pepper utility with a tidy footprint and eye-catching finish.
