Typically around 2-4 inches long, they have a slightly sweet, smoky flavor with a subtle heat that is generally mild, though about 1 in 10 peppers may be unexpectedly spicy. These peppers are often grilled or sautéed whole, served as an appetizer or side dish. They are easy to grow and are well-suited for container gardening or raised beds.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGrow Instructions:\u003cbr\u003eShishito peppers thrive in warm, sunny conditions. Start seeds indoors 8–10 weeks before the last expected frost date, sowing them in seed trays or small pots. Plant seeds about ¼ inch deep and keep the soil moist but not soggy. The ideal germination temperature is around 70°F (21°C), and it typically takes 7–14 days for seeds to sprout.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOnce the seedlings are strong enough and the outdoor temperatures have warmed (typically after the last frost), transplant them outdoors in a location with full sun and well-draining soil. Space the plants about 18–24 inches apart to allow for good airflow and growth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShishito peppers prefer consistently moist soil but are drought-tolerant once established. Water regularly, especially during dry periods, but avoid waterlogging. Peppers grow best in temperatures ranging from 70–85°F (21–29°C), and will produce fruit more abundantly in these warmer conditions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor a continuous harvest, pick peppers when they are bright green and tender, typically about 60–70 days after transplanting. Regular harvesting will encourage more fruit production throughout the growing season. If growing in containers, choose a pot that is at least 12 inches deep to accommodate the root system.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShishito Pepper Seeds (Capsicum annuum) are an open-pollinated, heirloom variety known for their mild flavor and low heat levels, typically ranging from 100 to 1,000 Scoville Heat Units. These non-GMO, annual peppers are high-yielding and perfect for growing in garden plots, raised beds, or greenhouses. They are much milder than jalapeños and add a unique flavor to any dish.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e(Note to Buyer)\u003cbr\u003eSeeds are shipped in clear plastic baggies through USPS to keep shipping free and lightweight.
