California Wonder Pepper Seed
Description
Simply made for stuffing. Deep green-to-red peppers, with thick walls, crisp, glossy flesh and bright flavor. Smooth, blocky fruits are nearly square, and you will have many of them with proper care. Plant in compost-rich soil and keep evenly watered. Harvest peppers by clipping through the fruit’s stem, not by pulling them off the plant. Deer-resistant.
