Description

Bring some exotic Asian flavours into your veg plot with this unusual herb. Also known as Shiso in Japan, this relative of mint has a complex flavour profile, with hints of mint, clove, cumin and citrus. Both the leaves and flowers of this popular Asian vegetable can be used in salads, fish dishes, tempura and even cocktails and fruity desserts. Erect stems bear highly aromatic green leaves with red undersides. Cultivated as an annual, it’s an easy and fast-growing herb which is rich in Vitamins A, C and riboflavin. Height 90cm (36”) and spread: 60cm (24”)

Please note: Perilla frutescens is poisonous to cattle, horses and all ruminants, including when baled into hay.

Sowing

Grow this tender perennial as an annual. Sow seed on the surface of good free-draining, seed compost. Cover with a fine sprinkling of vermiculite. Place in a propagator or seal container inside a polythene bag and place at 20-25C (68-77F) until after germination which takes 14-21 days. Do not exclude light, as this helps germination.

Transplant seedlings when large enough to handle into 7.5cm (3in) pots and continue to grow on indoors in cooler conditions. Acclimatise to outside conditions for 10-15 days before planting out after all risk of frost, 30cm (12in) apart.

More Info

Thompson & Morgan strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3
