Beloved in Japanese cuisine and now a staple at restaurants worldwide, Shishito is a mild, prolific pepper with thin walls that blister and char beautifully when roasted, pan-fried, or grilled. Harvest green for mild flavor, or wait for orange-red for a sweeter finish. Compact 24” plants produce abundantly — perfect for containers and small gardens.
Start seeds indoors 8–10 weeks before last frost. Transplant to full sun in fertile, well-draining soil, spacing 18 inches apart. Keep evenly watered. Harvest green at 3–4” for mild flavor, or allow to ripen red for sweetness.
