Growing Instructions

Start California Wonder Sweet Pepper seeds indoors 4–10 weeks before the last frost date. Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep in seed-starting mix, maintaining temperatures of 70–85°F for optimal germination. Transplant seedlings outdoors when nighttime temperatures are consistently above 55°F. Space plants 12–24 inches apart in rows 24–36 inches apart. Peppers thrive in full sun and rich, well-draining soil. Keep the soil consistently moist, and mulch to retain moisture and reduce weeds. Harvest when peppers reach full size and turn from green to red for peak sweetness.
