Shishito Pepper Seeds (Organic)
Shishito Pepper Seeds (Organic)
Mild heat, versatile snack.
Shishito Pepper is a popular Japanese variety known for its small, wrinkled peppers and mild, smoky flavor. Each pepper grows to about 3-4 inches long and ripens from green to red, though they’re typically harvested green for their best flavor. Thriving in full sun and nutrient-rich, well-draining soil, Shishito Peppers mature in about 60-70 days, producing an abundance of fruit throughout the season. The plants are compact yet highly productive, making them well-suited for garden beds, raised beds, or containers. These peppers are incredibly versatile in the kitchen and are most often enjoyed blistered in a hot skillet, grilled, or fried as a snack or appetizer. Their mild heat level means they’re suitable for most palates, though an occasional pepper may surprise with a bit of extra spice. Shishito Peppers are easy to grow and resistant to common pests and diseases, ensuring healthy plants and consistent yields. Whether you’re a fan of unique flavors or looking for an easy-to-grow crop, Shishito Pepper is a delicious and rewarding addition to your garden.

Planting & Care
Planting & Care
Soil & Water: Peppers require deeply worked, well-drained soil with plenty of added organic matter and a pH of 6.0-6.8 and an abundant level of phosphorus and calcium. Water deeply, but don't over water.
Planting & Growing: Start seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost. Transplant to the garden when the soil is warm and all chances of frost has passed. Stake to keep fruit off the ground and mulch for weed control and moisture retention.
Harvesting & Storage: Cut (don't pull) the peppers when they are about 4-6" long and refrigerate. Frequent picking will encourage continued production through the season.
