A beautiful and flavorful herb known as purple shiso, prized for its deep purple leaves and distinctive aroma. The leaves offer a unique flavor blend often described as basil, mint, cinnamon, and citrus, making them popular for fresh eating, garnishes, teas, pickling, and Asian-inspired dishes. Purple shiso is both ornamental and edible, adding rich color to herb gardens, flower beds, and containers. Fast-growing and productive, it also attracts pollinators and may self-seed if allowed to flower.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e🌱 \u003cstrong\u003eGrowing Information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHow to Grow Purple Shiso (Perilla) from Seed\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePlanting Depth: 1\/4 inch\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSeed Spacing: 8–12 inches\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRow Spacing: 18–24 inches\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGermination Time: 7–21 days\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDays to Harvest: 60–80 days\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSun Requirements: Full Sun to Partial Shade\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Tips:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDirect sow outdoors after danger of frost has passed, or start indoors 6–8 weeks before your last frost date. Purple shiso prefers warm soil and consistent moisture for best germination. Keep soil lightly moist but not waterlogged. Thin seedlings to allow good airflow and healthy growth. Pinch plants regularly to encourage bushier growth and increased leaf production. Harvest leaves as needed throughout the season. Allow some plants to flower if you would like them to reseed for future seasons.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cheap Seeds, LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51374567489700,"sku":null,"price":1.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0607\/2660\/8036\/files\/purple-shiso-perilla-close-up.png?v=1780739865","url":"https:\/\/cheapseeds.net\/products\/purple-shiso-perilla-seeds","provider":"Cheap Seeds, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
