Organic California Wonder Red Sweet Pepper Seeds

The California Wonder pepper is a very popular vegetable for the home garden because it has a mild, sweet flavor! It grows glossy, deep-green bells about 4" across that turn red at full maturity, which takes about 75 days. This variety grows on upright ever-bearing plants that are 24" tall that are resistant to Tobacco Mosaic Virus. 20 seeds. Non-GMO

Sowing: Start pepper seeds indoors in peat pots about 8 weeks before the last expected spring frost. Sow them 1/4" deep and keep the soil at 80-85 degrees F until germination; provide sunlight or a grow light for 12-16 hours a day. When the outdoor temperature reaches 60-65 degrees F during the day and no less than 50 degrees F at night, transplant the seedlings 12-16" apart. Exposing the plants to the weather for several hours a day before transplanting may help prevent shock. Peppers also grow well in containers or raised beds. Golden California Wonder, because it matures early, makes a good choice for Northern gardeners.

Growing: Keep the soil evenly moist and weeds under control; mulching the plants may help with this. If excess heat and sun cause the plants to wilt, provide shade.
