Many Belarusian, Moldovian and Russian sweet pepper varieties are hardy enough even for Zone 4/5.
Non-bell (Cone and prismatic shaped fruit) - Alesya, Troyka, Nezhnost (Tenderness), Vinni the Pooh, Zvorov'e (Healthy), Zolotistyi. They are very early and productive - my favorites along with milky-white skin before they got it red (Belozerka, Belosnezhka, Venti).
Bell-shaped - Parnas is my favorite. It has got very nice blunt heart shape (and sometimes even real heart shaled) of yellow/orange color. Belarussian CV.
Also we have 2 bell-shaped Belarussian varieties similar to Californian Wonder (red and yellow) but setting fruit 2 weeks earlier. Kubik Krasnyi and Kubik Zheltyi.
Sibirian (non-bell) and Czech (bell and non-bell) sweet pepper varieties are very good and hardy as well.
