California Wonder has been the standard bell pepper since the 1920s—thick-walled, blocky fruits that ripen from green to deep red with a sweet, juicy crunch. Plants are productive and tolerant of a range of conditions, making them a beginner’s friend. Peppers pack vitamin C and carotenoids; let fruits color fully for the most nutrients. Start indoors, transplant after warm nights arrive, and keep soil evenly moist. Slice raw, stuff and roast, or dice into everything—this is the bell that always pays rent.

How to Grow

Start seed indoors 6-8 weeks before last frost. A heat mat helps to speed up the germination process. Optimum soil temperature for seed germination is 65-85 degrees. Peppers generally have long growing seasons and grow slowly during cool temperatures. Delay transplanting until your soil has thoroughly warmed up in the spring. A week before transplanting time, harden off plants by exposing them to an increasing number of hours outdoors each day. Peppers are less cold tolerant than tomatoes.
