Hudson Valley Seed Co. Shishito Pepper Seeds

Shishito peppers are generally mild, though they are famous for the occasional 'surprise' pepper that packs a bit more heat. Most of the harvest will be savory and sweet rather than spicy.

Each packet contains 25 seeds. Assuming a standard germination rate, you can expect to grow up to 25 individual plants, which is more than enough to keep a household well-supplied throughout the summer.

Yes, their compact 18-inch height makes them an excellent choice for container gardening. Ensure your pot is at least 3-5 gallons in size to give the roots enough space to thrive.

These peppers reach maturity in about 60 days from transplanting. Because they are productive plants, you can expect a steady harvest of peppers throughout the summer once they begin to fruit.

While they are relatively compact, it is good practice to provide a small stake or cage to support the plant, especially once it becomes heavy with fruit. They thrive best in full sun with consistent watering.
