Golden Cal Wonder Sweet Bell Pepper, Heirloom Seeds

Golden Cal Wonder takes everything that made Cal Wonder famous — the large, four-lobed shape, the thick walls, the reliable production — and adds a warm, golden-yellow color and a noticeably sweeter, more complex flavor. Where the original Cal Wonder is crisp and grassy at the green stage, Golden Cal Wonder ripens to a rich, buttery yellow with a fruity sweetness that makes it exceptional eaten raw, roasted, or stuffed. It’s the bell pepper that makes you wonder why you ever grew anything else.

Reliable and prolific, Golden Cal Wonder is the heirloom bell for gardeners who want the classic Cal Wonder experience with a golden twist.
