This heirloom favorite produces sturdy, compact plants loaded with large, blocky, thick-walled peppers that can be harvested at the crisp green stage or left to fully ripen to a vibrant, sweet red. Known for its dependable yields, uniform shape, and excellent flavor, California Wonder is perfect for fresh eating, stuffing, grilling, and preserving. The fruits typically grow 3–4 inches long with firm flesh and a rich, sweet taste that intensifies as they turn red. Peppers thrive in full sun and warm soil, so transplant after all danger of frost has passed and soil temperatures are consistently warm. Keep plants evenly watered and well-fed for best production, and harvest regularly to encourage more fruit. Whether you're growing in raised beds, garden rows, or large containers, California Wonder is a time-tested favorite that delivers beautiful, flavorful peppers all season long.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePeppers are slow to germinate and slow to start growing to transplant size. I recommend to start seeds in pots\/trays with a heat mat to speed up germination. Then start fertilizing weekly with half strength fertilizer once the first set of true leaves appear. Peppers are similar to tomatoes in that they like plenty of water and are heavy feeders. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePeppers are perennial plants and can produce for several years if taken care of. In cold climates trim off all the leaves and bring in doors in a pot to over winter. Place back out doors once temperatures are nice and warm. In mild climates, pepper plants can be left out doors and might need to be covered on the coldest nights. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFollow me on social media because I talk a lot about the same seed varieties I sell here in my shop and gardening tips.
