Grow Your Own Crisp & Sweet Fushimi Peppers

Perfect for snacking straight from the vine or adding a fresh twist to tempura, stir-fries, and grilling, these peppers are a must-have for any home gardener or culinary enthusiast.
Why Choose Fushimi Sweet Pepper Seeds?
Unlike ordinary sweet peppers, Fushimi peppers boast ultra-thin walls and a vibrant green hue that turns red when fully ripe. Their crisp texture outshines even Shishito peppers, making them ideal for quick sautés with sesame oil or pickling. These prolific plants yield 6" narrow pods all season long on compact 24" plants. They are perfect for containers or garden beds.
Key Features:
- Heat Level: None - Pure sweet flavor
- Growth: 80 days to harvest; thrives in full sun

Easy Growing Tips:
Start Fushimi Sweet Pepper Seeds indoors 8 weeks before last frost. Plant 1/4" deep in warm soil (85°F) and keep moist. Transplant after 6 true leaves appear, spacing 24" apart. Harvest when peppers reach full size when green for classic crispness or red for sweeter notes.

Customer Reviews
This pepper did really well with very little issues in zone 9b. Had so many peppers to cook in a little bit of olive oil, salt and at times other added ingredients. Best tasting, some were a little hot which I liked. Better than Shishito peppers.
Found Fushimi after discovering Shishito peppers! Have them in our garden for years now. You simply pick, rinse, heat a skillet with a bit of oil, toss in the peppers and put a little char on 'em! Into a bowl, toss with a bit of salt and presto.....the best appetizer in the world!
I am a volunteer grower for a nonprofit and last year we added Fushimi peppers to our Spring Plant Sale offerings. Here in Northern Colorado, zone 5, these lovely, no heat peppers grew like champs. Extremely prolific, each plant provided us with an abundant harvest every few days over the span of several months. We used them mostly as a tapas style dish, blistering them in a cast iron skillet with olive oil and sea salt, and topped with feta cheese. If you like Shishito peppers, you will like these as well.
We love these thin-walled and glossy bright green Japanese peppers! Very prolific, and tasty, too. We had great success with your seeds, nearly every one sprouted. Thank you.
Here in southern California, in zone 9B, it's not hard to grow good peppers. However, these little guys have been producing like crazy! Hardy plants that germinated and transplanted really well and have exceeded my expectations. Will have these in the garden again for sure! Thanks.
