Pepper California Wonder

California Wonder Pepper is a standard bell pepper that is widely adapted. These pepper plants produce very sturdy frames that are easy to grow. This pepper always produces well formed, sweet, juicy, crunchy, large pepper fruits. In a greenhouse, open field, or in your backyard vegetable garden, this is the variety to grow if you love big, blocky sweet peppers that mature from green to bright fire engine red. The four-lobed fruits are heavy with perfectly smooth skins.

Special varietal requirements
California Wonder Pepper needs lots of heat to grow and for fruits to ripen. The peppers can be planted as soon as night temperatures reach about 60 degrees. In colder areas, it helps to warm the ground with black mulch material a week or so before planting. Place these peppers in full sun, or a spot that gets at least 6 hours of sun a day.
