Description:

Known to be America's favorite sweet pepper, this has been the standard bell pepper for many decades that no one should miss out on. Introduced in 1928, the California Wonder pepper is known to be the largest open-pollinated heirloom bell you can grow in your garden.

The California Wonder pepper plant grows as an upright ever-bearing plant that is 24 inches tall and is easy to grow, and it is resistant to Tobacco Mosaic Virus. They will ripen from green to red, and most 4-inch fruits will be four-lobed and will have a very blocky shape. You’ll find that it is ridiculously easy to grow the California Wonder Bell plant – all it needs is some sun, and you’re set!

The California Wonder Bell is a thick-fleshed, flavorful, tender bell pepper loaded with a ton of crunch and vitamins A and C, and it is absolutely perfect for stuffing. Great for cooking, stuffing, snacking, fajitas, salads, sautéing, sandwiches, and many more!

Fun Fact: Many gardeners used the California Wonder pepper seed in breeding new and superior types of peppers for gardening purposes because of its excellent size and high production rates.

  • What You'll Need

    Soil and Tray Method

    Seed Starting Supplies 
  • Plant your Seeds

    1. Pre-saturate your seed starting soil mix. Ensure the seed starting mix is fully saturated prior to planting your seed.
    2. Make a ¼-inch hole in the center of each seed starting cell. A #2 pencil eraser is a great tool for making these holes.
    3. Place your seed and cover gently with soil.
      You can plant up to 4 seeds per cell to help ensure successful germination.
  • 4. Place your heat mat under  your base tray and your humidity dome on top. For best results, set your temperature controller between 75 - 80 degrees.

    5. Place your plant light above the seed starting tray and turn on. Refer to the plant light manufacturers instructions for the optimal distance. Plant light should remain on for 14 to 16 hours per day.

    6. Enjoy watching them grow! See our full instruction page below for more information.
