Growing Perilla / Shiso


Growing Perilla / Shiso...................


The cultivation of perilla / shiso

Site: These plants should be grown, from 6 to 12 centimeters are apart, in well drained, moist soil and sunlight half the day or more. In warm, humid weather, these plants grow quickly and should be pinched off their tops to get a cleaner look. Perilla grows in any light from shade to full sun.

Propagation: Shiso can be started from seed in well-drained soil. Be sure to keep seedlings rather dry until the plants reach two inches in height. Surface-sow or only lightly cover the seed in mid spring in a greenhouse. The seed germinates best at 68 ° F, if it is possible even at lower temperatures slightly. Germination is usually quick, prick out the seedlings into individual bowls or pots when they are large enough, plant them out into their permanent positions in early summer. Give the plants some protection such as a bell until they are growing away well. The seed has a short viability and should be used when less than a year old.
