California Wonder
Bell Pepper Seeds
(OP) 75 days
A 1928 introduction, California Wonder has the largest fruit of any open-pollinated bell pepper, maturing to 5 in. long and nearly as wide. Thick-walled and juicy, with a large cavity perfect for stuffing. Harvest when green, or wait until ripened to crimson red for a sweeter flavor. Sturdy, disease-resistant plants grow 28 to 30 in. tall, thriving in a wide range of climates. Packet is ¼ gram, about 40 seeds.
Growing California Wonder Bell Pepper Seeds
Plant Bell Peppers: Start bell pepper seeds indoors in cell packs or flats, 8 weeks before the last anticipated frost. At 70-90°F., germination is in 8-25 days.
Keep pepper seedlings in a bright light and in temperatures of at least 70°F. until ready to transplant. When garden soil has warmed to at least 60°F., transplant into the garden 18-24 in. apart.
Harvest Bell Peppers: Use a small sharp knife or scissors to cut peppers instead of pulling them off, which can cause damage to the plant.
