Description:
An improved version of the California Wonder, the Yolo Wonder was developed for hotter climates, making it excellent for Texas gardeners. It produces larger, more uniform blocky green fruits that turn deep red when mature.

Days to Fruit: 70–75 days from transplant.

How to Grow in Texas:
Start indoors 8 weeks before the last frost. Transplant when night temps stay above 55°F. For a fall crop, sow seeds indoors mid-July. Provide consistent moisture and mulch to retain soil temperature.

Why Choose This Variety:
More heat-tolerant than the original California Wonder — ideal for Texas heat! Dependable yields of larger, thicker peppers.

Excellent raw, roasted, stuffed, or diced in salsas and stir-fries.

Taste:
Sweet, crisp, and mild, with a thicker wall for that satisfying crunch.
