Shiso, Red (Perilla Leaf, Japanese Basil)
Description
Description
Red Shiso (Perilla frutescens), also called Perilla Leaf and Japanese Basil, is an herb in the mint family with large, deep purple, wrinkled, serrated leaves. Much stronger and spicier than Green Shiso, the crunchy leaves are used mainly in salads, for pickling, and as a natural food coloring. Used extensively in Japanese cuisine, it has a fresh minty-basil flavor with notes of clove and cumin, and a bitter, astringent finish. Pairs well with fish, rice, noodles, and vegetables, especially cucumbers. Also a medicinal herb with antioxidant, anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antiseptic properties. Its rhizome root can become invasive, so best grown in a container.

- Full sun
- Days to germinate (sprout): 7-21 days
- Days to maturity: 80-85 days
Good companion plants: Arugula, Basil, Bok Choy, Parsley, Tomato

Customer Reviews
Most of the seeds I bought have not come up. Suppose I’ll try another vendor next time. Having much better luck with 2 year old seeds than the seedsnow seeds. Only 2 varieties out of more than 10 have any sprouts at all after 2 weeks!
