Shishito peppers are a popular Japanese variety known for their mild heat, thin walls, and excellent flavor, making them a favorite for grilling and sautéing. Increasingly popular in home gardens, shishitos are prized for their productivity and their fun “surprise heat” factor.

Grown hydroponically in a controlled environment, our Shishito pepper plants arrive healthy, pest-free, and ready to establish once transplanted.

What You’ll Receive

  • Shishito pepper plant hydroponically grown in rockwool (no soil)

  • Plant height at shipping: Approx. 4” tall

  • Actively growing with a strong, well-developed root system

  • Care instructions included

  • Bonus: 4-pack orders include a FREE sample compost tea fertilizer

Because our plants are grown hydroponically, they will require an adjustment period and it will take a few weeks for them to acclimate when transplanted into soil or containers. To learn more about our methods and to ensure success, review the sections below Our Live Plant Growing & Shipping Process and When Your Live Pepper Plants Arrive.

About the Shishito Pepper

Shishito is a Capsicum annuum variety traditionally used in Japanese cuisine. Plants typically grow up to 3 feet tall and produce an abundance of 3–4 inch long, thin-walled peppers with wrinkled skin and an elongated shape. Peppers are usually harvested green but can ripen to red with slightly sweeter flavor.

Most shishito peppers are mild, but occasionally one will deliver an unexpected burst of heat, often described as a “pepper roulette” experience, where only about 1 in 10–20 peppers is noticeably spicy.

  • Heat Level: Mild, with occasional hot peppers

  • Flavor: Sweet, citrusy, and slightly smoky

  • Pepper Appearance: Thin-walled, wrinkled green peppers that may ripen red

  • Culinary Use: Grilling, sautéing, blistering, appetizers, and fresh use

 

Growing & Care Information

  • Grower Experience Level: Beginner 

  • Growth Habit: Bushy, highly productive plant

  • Mature Plant Size: Approximately 2 feet tall

  • Pepper Pod Size: Typically 3–4 inches long

  • Days to Maturity: Approximately 60–75 days from transplant

  • Ways to Grow: In-ground garden beds, raised garden beds, and containers with proper drainage

If you’d prefer to start from seed, we also offer Shishito pepper seeds and Seed Starting Supplies, a great option for growers who enjoy raising plants from the very beginning or planning ahead for future seasons.

Matte and definitely worth purchasing
Love it. It’s definitely matte, but doesn’t dry me out. I put it on with a light moisturizer, and have no issues with pilling. It feels more like a light oil when applying, but that feeling goes away in seconds. I like that it’s also water resistant. I get oily really easily, so I’ve been looking for an affordable matte sunscreen, and this seems to be working really well for me. There’s a sunscreen smell on application, but it’s not too overwhelming and goes away quickly. Overall, 10/10 would definitely recommend, and kinda wish I could gatekeep it.

Best sunscreen ever
Best sunscreen! Extremely smooth, it leaves your skin completely matte. It does not feel like sunscreen, it feels like a high end primer. It’s a gel not even a cream. I use it as my primer, since I have to put sunscreen on anyway, it serves as my primer before make up. I’ve always struggled with finding a decent sunscreen for my face that leaves no cast or hurts my eyes but this one is the best one I’ve ever tried. Matte, smooth, gel, does not hurt eyes, primer for make up. Amazing! And great value for the money.

Feels very oily right after applying
Ok, NON SPONSORED review. I bought this with my own money. It’s a great sunscreen, very lightweight and goes on clear. The only downside is, right after applying it feels like straight cooking oil on your skin. It’s a horrible, horrible sensory experience. But once you give it a couple minutes to dry down, it’s completely matte and feels like nothing. It hasn’t broken me out yet like other sunscreens I’ve tried, so that’s a plus.

Works great under makeup
Excellent for the face! Many sunscreens claim they are good for the face, and blend well. This one actually DOES!! It is also an excellent moisturizer under your makeup without streaking. Just a smooth, beautiful finish. I wear it all year around The sun is just as strong and quite capable of ruining your skin in the winter as well.

Not amazing, but not the worst.
I hate sunscreen and to varying degrees chemical or mineral sunscreens. This was promised as grease free and smooth, but it comes out watery and does feel greasy, but once applied on the skin it does feel smooth. UPDATE: I got a suntan after slathering this on my face. I would say this lasts about an hour and a half. The suntan happened 15 minutes before the two hour "clock" was up. Disappointing. Back to mineral sunscreen.
