Shishito Pepper F1 Organic
Shishitos are having a moment. You’ll see the mild, slender Japanese peppers on menus at all the coolest restaurants. But you can easily grow and eat them every day. Buckets of them. They are so so easy. A joy max pepper all the way.
JOY MAX QUALITIES:
One of the easiest peppers to grow, with the most prolific harvests. DELICIOUS, buttery, mild flavor. Every once in a while you’ll get one that’s got some spice to it.
Very early to produce, only 60 days until the wrinkled, bright green peppers reach 3” long, the perfect size to harvest.
Because they produce so quickly and so bountifully, it doesn’t matter if you get a late start with them. Start indoors whenever you can and if it’s already very warm outside, plant them out where they will get some shade in the afternoon.
I planted four plants one year and pretty much brought a giant bag of peppers with me any time I went to anyone’s house. Fry some up mid-party or bring as a hostess gift, they will be appreciated.
Other than some harmless leaf miners, I’ve never had any pests trouble my shishitos. They are so easy, you really don’t have to do much to grow them.

Planting Information: Start indoors under bright light 8-10 weeks before last frost. Sow seeds 1/4” deep., 2-3 seeds per cell or pot, and then thin to the healthiest seedling once they are an inch tall. Use a heat mat to speed germination. It’s best to start peppers indoors because, unlike tomatoes, you shouldn’t plant them outside until nighttime temps are above 60°F (15°C). You need a soil temp of 65°-80°F for best results.
