Growing Information

Shishito pepper plants thrive in full sun, requiring at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily. They prefer well-draining, nutrient-rich soil and moderate watering to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. These compact, bushy plants mature in 60 to 75 days from germination. For best germination results, maintain warm temperatures between 70-85°F. Their manageable size makes them ideal for container gardening as well as traditional garden beds.
