California Wonder Pepper is a popular and productive vegetable plant known for its large, blocky green fruits that ripen to vibrant red when fully mature. Its sturdy, upright growth and glossy foliage make it a reliable choice for garden beds, containers, and raised planters. The thick-walled peppers are crisp, flavorful, and perfect for fresh eating, cooking, or stuffing. In Manitoba, it is grown as a warm-season annual, thriving in full sun and warm conditions while being sensitive to frost.
