Planting & Care
Start California Wonder seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last expected frost. Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep in seed-starting mix and maintain a soil temperature of 75-85°F (24-29°C) for best germination. Keep the medium consistently moist but not waterlogged. Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, transplant into larger pots and gradually harden off before moving outdoors after the danger of frost has passed.
Set plants in full sun and space them 18-24 inches apart in well-drained soil. Water regularly to keep soil evenly moist, and apply a balanced fertilizer according to package directions. Mulch to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Harvest peppers when they reach full size; for red peppers, allow them to ripen on the plant. Monitor for common pests and diseases, and practice crop rotation to maintain plant health.
