Growing Information

Growing California Wonder Heirloom Bell Pepper

‘California Wonder’ is a classic heirloom bell pepper prized for its thick walls, blocky shape, and dependable garden performance. Medium-sized, smooth fruits develop three to four lobes and mature from deep green to rich red on sturdy plants.

Start ‘California Wonder’ indoors for transplanting. Plant seeds about ¼ to ½ inch deep and space plants 12 to 18 inches apart. Grow in full sun. This heat-tolerant variety performs reliably through warm summer conditions.

Ready to harvest in about 75 days, pick peppers green or allow them to mature fully red for additional sweetness.

Crisp, thick walled, and versatile, ‘California Wonder’ is excellent for stuffing, fresh eating, slicing, grilling, and everyday cooking.

Good germination rate about 80 %

Solid

My plants are still in the seedling stage (about a month in the ground) pretty solid germination rate. Probably above 80%. It’s still too early to produce fruit, so it’s a wait a see.

Poor Production

Germination of these pepper seeds was great (although about a week later than in the past), but their production of peppers in the garden after transplanting was poor.

Huge peppers, thick walls, prolific

One of my favorite bell peppers. HUGE peppers, up to 5" long in my little garden, with thick, juicy walls. I had 9 huge peppers on the average plant, which only grew about 16" tall, which made the plants look funny, but they were stunning. Not all that susceptible to blossom-end rot, even while purple and black peppers in the same raised bed succumbed to it. Biggest, most flavorful bell peppers, and by far the most prolific of any bell pepper I have raised the last 25 years.
