Capsicum California Wonder is one of the most popular and dependable sweet bell pepper varieties worldwide. It produces heavy crops of large, blocky fruit with thick, crunchy walls and a deliciously sweet, mild flavour. The peppers start off glossy green and ripen to a brilliant red, giving you a choice of flavour and colour at different harvest stages.
The plant is vigorous and upright, with strong stems that support its generous yield. Known for its disease resistance and adaptability, ‘California Wonder’ thrives in home gardens and commercial plots alike. Its crisp, juicy fruit are perfect for stuffing, roasting, grilling, stir-fries, and fresh salads.
Tip: For sweeter, more nutrient-rich fruit, allow peppers to fully ripen to red before harvesting. Picking some green fruit along the way encourages continuous cropping.
