Description
The Yolo Wonder Pepper (Capsicum annuum) is related to the California "Cal" Wonder Bell Pepper, but left the Golden State for the hot, dry climate of New Mexico. Like everyone in the family, Yolo is blocky with thick skin, a little bigger and fleshier than Cal at 4"-5", and just as sweet and mild. This beautiful plant produces loads of glossy fruits. Try growing them this year, because you only live once. YOLO!
