Product Description
Bring your fresh recipes to life with Mr Fothergill’s California Wonder capsicum seeds. Growing big, blocky green and red peppers, these sweet capsicum seeds are surprisingly easy to grow and are just what you need to add sweetness or crunch to salads and sauces. They’re just as good fresh, with thick, juicy walls and sweet flavour that gets deeper with grilling or roasting—everything you want in a pepper.
Bell peppers are from Central and South America, but this variety is named after its home state of California. This means it’s well-suited to warm, sunny Australian gardens. They do best in consistent warmth and full sun.
Pair these bell peppers with other vegetable seeds from our range. Grow them alongside our onion seeds or herb seeds for Mexican recipes like fajitas and chillies, or our tomato seeds for tomato-and-pepper sauces and soups.

Sow California Wonder capsicum seeds 6mm (1/4in) deep in a seed tray or punnet filled with seed-raising mix or compost. Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. When seedlings are large enough to handle, thin them out and transplantthem into 12cm (4in) pots.
Once plants reach about 15cm (6in) tall, plant them in their final position, spacing them 50cm (20in) apart. Prepare the soil beforehand by incorporating organic matter and a balanced fertiliser to give your plants the best start. Harvest after 2-3 months when they are full-sized and glossy; earlier for green peppers and later for red peppers. Capsicums make good companion plants for tomatoes as well as flower plants like geraniums and petunias.
