Also known as Red Perilla, Purple Shiso is a plant native to East Asia, prized for its aromatic leaves and its multiple culinary and medicinal uses. Its purple or reddish leaves, sometimes tinged with green, emit a characteristic fragrance, both minty, spicy, and slightly citrusy. Used in many Asian cuisines, such as Japanese, Korean, and Chinese cuisine, purple shiso is often used fresh as a garnish, wrapped around sushi, or finely chopped in salads and stir-fried dishes.

Note: Shiso seeds can be challenging to germinate. Performing a brief stratification followed by soaking the seeds for 24 hours before sowing will greatly aid in the process. Refer to the document "The Key to Germination: STRATIFICATION" in the Blog menu for more information on this topic.

Easy to grow in temperate climates, purple shiso is an annual plant that thrives in well-drained and sunny soil. Cultivated from seeds, it is commonly planted in vegetable gardens or used as an ornamental plant for its decorative leaves and pleasant fragrance.
