Plant Good Seed Shishito Pepper

Yes, these seeds are certified organic and non-GMO, ensuring they meet strict standards for clean, sustainable gardening.

Shishito peppers require full sun, which means at least six hours of direct sunlight per day for optimal growth and fruit production.

Because they reach a manageable height of about 24 inches, these peppers are well-suited for container gardening as long as the pot provides enough space for the roots and adequate drainage.

You can expect to harvest your first peppers about 80 to 90 days after planting, provided the soil conditions and sunlight requirements are met.

Shishito peppers are generally mild with a nuanced, savory flavor. While most are sweet and mild, it is a well-known quirk of the variety that occasionally one pepper in a batch will have a surprising kick of heat.

They are best enjoyed with a quick sear in a hot pan with a little oil until the skins are blistered and slightly charred. This simple preparation highlights their thin-walled texture and mild flavor.
