Days to Maturity: 60 days green, 75 red

This is the first organic hybrid shishito available on the market.

Extremely prolific, bush-habit plants do not require staking. Elegant fruit is pale green, but darker than our open-pollinated Shishito and has some variation in shape. When you get a hot one, this variety is spicier than our open-pollinated variety, but most are not hot. Perfect for baking or blistering on the grill. It performed well in trials in Florida, the Northeast, and California. Bred by EarthWork Seeds.

High Mowing’s International Sales Manager, Paul Betz, says: “Katana F1 is the first hybrid shishito available as an organic seed, and we are excited to roll it out. For years I didn’t really get the hype behind shishitos. I totally get it now, and love them as part of my summertime menu.”
