California wonder is a popular variety of Sweet pepper, which belongs to the Capsicum genus (Capsicum annuum var. annuum (Grossum Group) ‘California wonder’). ‘California wonder’ is considered a OP (open polliated) cultivar.

California Wonder is a mid-season, open-pollinated sweet bell pepper with crisp, thick-walled fruit that ripens from dark green to bright red. Its extra-large, blocky, three- or four-lobed fruit are prolifically and consistently borne on upright, bushy plants resistant to tobacco mosaic virus. A long growing season, high-quality fruit, and sweet flavor have resulted in California Wonder becoming one of the most popular open-pollinated bell peppers for both home and market growers. 1 2
