CALIFORNIA WONDER 300

CALIFORNIA WONDER 300

65 days. Each plant produces wonderfully sweet bell peppers that are typically 4 lobed, thick walled, and blocky. The leafy plant habit provides good scald protection and the large rich green fruit turn red on the bush. A great choice for cool growing conditions. TMV

California Wonder 300

I ordered Milena as well as California Wonder 300 plants. They were quite small when they arrived and I planted them the day after they were received. Plants all looked healthy but have not grown very much (only 6 to 7 inches tall now). They get sun all day long and regularly watered. They have no blossoms. What can I do to get them to blossom?

It sounds like your plants are getting plenty of sun and water, but are they also getting enough nutrients? Peppers are heavy feeders! We recommend using a balanced fertilizer, but during the fruiting stage, you want one that's slightly higher in phosphorus and potassium than nitrogen. If you'd like more help troubleshooting, feel free to contact our customer service team at 800-626-0866 or info@territorialseed.com (Monday–Friday, 8AM–5PM Pacific Time).

None have germinated

Sorry to hear that! We do germ test all of our seeds and to ensure we sell only top performing seed, we have established germination standards that are higher than prescribed by the Federal Seed Act. Our minimum germination standard for peppers is 70% and the most recent test for this variety passed at 85%. Check out our pepper growing guide here: https://territorialseed.com/blogs/spring-growing-guides/pepper-growing-guide or feel free to email us for further troubleshooting. As always, our products are backed by our full guarantee. We want you, our customers, to be 100% satisfied with the seed, plants and supplies that you purchase from us. If anything you buy from Territorial proves to be unsatisfactory, we will either replace the item (if available) or refund the purchase price, whichever you prefer (for up to 1 year from purchase).

Great grower

I started lots of different peppers this year, and this one outgrew all of them. it sprouted first, grew faster, overcame transplanting easier, and now is blooming while the others are just now deciding to grow after transplant. This one just wants to grow. I hope it tastes good too!

Not getting as many as I expected. However the ones I have picked and cooked are good. I think it's the heat wave we are having. I do water almost every day. I would like to try the red variety next time because I make my own roasted peppers.

Capsicum annuum Our wide array of fabulous peppers, both sweet and hot, offers one of the richest sources of nutrients in the plant kingdom. Hot peppers contain capsaicin, which revs up your metabolism and reduces general inflammation in the body.

Days to maturity are calculated from date of transplanting and reflect edible green fruit.

Culture
• Peppers are warm-season annuals that grow best in composted, well-drained soils with a pH of 5.5-6.8
• Extra calcium and phosphorus are needed for highest yields
• Plants perform best when grown in raised beds and covered with plastic mulch
• Row cover young plants, remove after blossoms form
• Peppers grow slowly in cool soils; do not transplant before weather has stabilized
• Peppers set fruit best between 65-85°F

Direct Sowing
• Not recommended

Transplanting
• Start seeds in trays 8-12 weeks before anticipated transplant date
• Once seedlings have 2 sets of true leaves, up-pot to a 4 inch pot
• Use 1/2 cup TSC's Complete fertilizer and a shovelful of compost around each plant
• Fertilize with Age Old Bloom when plants begin to flower

Insects & Diseases
• Common insects: Flea beetles, aphids
• Insect control: Pyrethrin or row covers
• Common diseases: See chart below
• Disease prevention: 3-4 year crop rotation

Harvest & Storage
