Why Choose Shishito Pepper Seeds?

These productive plants yield abundant 3-4" long peppers on compact 24" tall bushes, perfect for gardens or containers. As an open-pollinated, non-GMO heirloom variety, you'll enjoy authentic flavor while supporting sustainable gardening.

Growing Tips for Success

Start your Shishito Pepper Seeds indoors 8 weeks before last frost. Plant 1/4" deep in sterile media with 85°F bottom heat. Keep moist and provide bright light for best germination (7-14 days). Transplant when seedlings develop 6 true leaves, spacing 30" apart in rich soil or large containers.

Harvest when peppers reach full size and enjoy them blistered with sea salt - a classic preparation that highlights their natural sweetness!
