California Wonder Bell Pepper was introduced in 1928 and has become the standard for bell peppers. California Wonder Bell Peppers grow on a sturdy compact plant that grows upright on a solid bush type habit that can reach as tall as 45-61 cm (18-24") in height with a spread that reaches 40-45 cm (14-18”) wide. We provide additional support for most of our pepper plants, especially if they are prolific producers like California Wonder Bell.  Plant produces heavy yields of peppers that are 10 cm (4”) long by 9 cm (3½”) wide.  Peppers are blocky, with 3-4 lobes, smooth skinned, thick walled and sweet.  They begin green, but with enough heat they will turn a brilliant red.
