Capsicum Seeds California Wonder is a premier variety of bell pepper known for its robust growth and versatility. The scientific name for this pepper is Capsicum annum, and it belongs to the Solanaceae family. This variety, also referred to as California Wonder Pepper, has long been a favorite among both market growers and home gardeners for its consistent performance and superior fruit quality.
California Wonder thrives best in warm, loamy soil, which ensures optimal seed germination and plant health. The soil should be well-drained to prevent water logging, as capsicum is sensitive to excessive moisture and cold temperatures. Notably, capsicum is a non-photoperiod sensitive crop, meaning it can flower and fruit regardless of day length, and it features self-pollinated flowers. This adaptability makes it suitable for diverse climates and growing conditions, although it is cultivated most extensively in Peru and South America.
California Wonder produces medium-sized plants that grow between 70 to 80 centimeters tall. The fruits are blocky, with 3 to 4 lobes, and transition from green to red as they mature. These peppers are ready for their first picking within 60 to 65 days after planting and typically weigh between 120 to 150 grams.
Due to their sensitivity to environmental changes, maintaining an optimal night temperature of 16-18°C is crucial for producing high-quality fruits. While they can tolerate day temperatures over 30°C and night temperatures between 21-24°C, prolonged exposure to temperatures below 16°C can adversely affect growth and yield.
