About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
You grow ‚California Wonder’, a robust classic among block peppers, proven for almost a hundred years. The large, four-keeled fruits are thick-walled and ripen from green to a strong red, with a mild, juicy flavor. Reliable in pots and in the garden, if you give it a warm, sheltered spot and even watering. A seed-stable variety from which you can harvest your own seed.
You will find it thick-fleshed and mild, green crisp-fresh, ripe red distinctly sweeter.
