In early spring, start seeds indoors 8 weeks prior to warm nightly temperatures. Place the seeds in sterile media and cover 1/4” deep. Provide 85°F bottom heat, bright light and keep moist at all times. Seeds will germinate in 7 - 14 days. Transplant seedlings into pots and grow until there are 6 true leaves on the plant. Plant them directly into rich soil, 30” apart or into large containers. Harvest peppers when they are full size. Check out this easy & delicious Shishito Recipe »

the whole experience of ordering and receiving your seeds was exceptional good.
I planted the shishito seeds. 8 of them .7 germinated, attesting to their freshness.
thank you
My two plants grew to nearly three feet tall and kept producing pods from early summer all the way to fall. I'm going to grow these every year now. I grew mine in pots.
These are actually very easy to grow. We used to buy them at the grocery store in small boxes for $5-7 and now we can pick a "box" of them every few days. We like to fry them in a cast iron pan with olive oil, a splash of lemon juice, and salt & pepper. Delicious.
These are our favorite veggies in the garden, we pick a bowl-full of Shishitos every couple days to add to meals – delicious! Very productive plants, easy to grow, and early, too. Thanks for the quality seeds.
good flavor and grows well. Occasionally one a bit hot, but most are mild and a great flavor.
