Planting & Care

Start Yolo Wonder seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before the last expected frost date. Sow seeds about 1/4 inch deep in a seed-starting mix and keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Maintain a warm temperature between 70°F and 85°F for best germination. Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, transplant them into larger pots or harden them off gradually before moving to the garden after all danger of frost has passed.

Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil. Water regularly, especially during flowering and fruit development, and apply a balanced fertilizer according to package directions. Mulching helps retain moisture and suppress weeds. Peppers can be harvested green or left to ripen to red for a sweeter flavor.
