Seed Count
The Cherniy Kon is a striking sweet bell pepper prized for its unusual dark coloring and excellent flavor. The fruits begin as a deep purple-brown, nearly black shade and mature to a rich, glossy dark red. This early and productive variety is valued for its thick walls, juiciness, and dependable performance in the garden.
Appearance:
Blocky, lobed bell-type peppers measuring about 7–9 cm tall. The dramatic dark skin gradually ripens to a deep red finish.
Flavor & Texture:
Mild, sweet, and full-bodied flavor with very thick flesh (around 9 mm). Crisp, juicy texture.
Plant Habit:
Compact and bushy plants with good resistance to disease and variable weather. High yielding, typically producing 12–15 fruits per plant.
Cooking Uses:
Its sweet flavor and thick walls make it highly versatile. Ideal for stuffing with meat, rice, or cheese. Delicious raw in salads and sandwiches for a crisp, sweet bite. Excellent roasted, grilled, or added to stir-fries, where its natural sweetness intensifies. Being non-pungent, it can replace standard bell peppers in virtually any recipe.

The many varieties of sweet and hot peppers thrive on full sun and warm weather. Cold temperatures can weaken pepper plants and they may never fully recover, so don’t rush to plant in the spring. Be certain to use the black side of the mulch covers to speed soil warming and early growth, but be careful, as they can also overheat the plants in certain climates. Peppers can be temperamental if temperatures are too hot or too cool. Nighttime temperatures below 60°F or above 75°F can reduce fruit set. Peppers need a steady supply of water for their best performance, so be sure to check water levels each day. Like tomatoes, you may find blossom end rot on your peppers, which can be easily corrected. Peppers are prone to sun scald, so moving them to partial shade can help if temperatures become too hot. Sweet peppers can be cut up and eaten raw, roasted and marinated, sauteed; or used in stews, soups, and stir fry. Hot peppers can be pickled, added to stew, used in stir fry, and are excellent when dried and ground to be used as a seasoning to give nearly any dish a little kick.
