The seeds should be lightly pressed roughly ¼” beneath the surface of the soil. Leave the seeds unburied because they require light to germinate. Space the seeds about 2” apart in rows 18" apart. Seedlings should take between 5 and 15 days to emerge from the soil. When they reach a height of 1”, thin to 6"-12” apart. perilla seeds are best off store din the fridge. Review: Good seeds! - Seeds germinated in a few days, shiso on the way! Review: None of the seeds germinated. I also bought seeds ... - None of the seeds germinated. I also bought seeds from True Leaf that germinated almost 100% - same methods used for both sets of seeds with the seeds from West Seed Farm planted one day earlier. Below is a photo with both sets of seeds, the West Seed Farm seeds on the left - nothing and some of the seeds are starting to show signs of mold and the True Leaf sprouting seeds on the right. ## Features - Perilla frutescens, also known as Green Shiso or Beefsteakplant, is usually grown in a flower garden or as a house plant. - This aromatic plant belongs to the Lamiaceae family, more commonly known as the mint family. Originally called the Labiatae family for the shape of its flowers, its petals consist of bonded upper and lower lips. Imagine five connected petals and five connected sepals, respective in proportion to one another. Bisexual and verticillastrate, these flowers are clustered together in what appears to be a single whorl of flowers but are truly two separate clusters. - Its leaves, however, are whorled and appear at right angles in pairs to the next corresponding couple. These leaves can be found on dining tables from Korea to Japan. Green Shiso seeds are sometimes ground and used to make oil or to flavor broth. In sushi bars its known by the name ‘Ohba’. - It’s flavor is reminiscent of a curry-like combination of cumin, cilantro and parsley with a dash of cinnamon, and is used for seasoning pickles, salads, cabbage and fish. Use the flowers and leaves together to make a pleasantly sweet smelling tea. Crushed leaves have a lemon scent. - In China it is used in traditional medicine and is not to be confused with Egoma, a plant so similar it is hard to distinguish the difference even with use of an electron microscope. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B06ZZ34GBD | | Brand | West Seed Farm | | Color | Green,Mint,Red | | Customer Reviews | 3.8 3.8 out of 5 stars (4) | | Expected Blooming Period | Spring | | Expected Planting Period | Spring | | Indoor/Outdoor Usage | Outdoor | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Weight | 0.634 ounces | | Manufacturer | West Seed Farm | | Moisture Needs | Moderate Watering | | Number of Pieces | 300 | | Package Dimensions | 2.01 x 0.98 x 0.98 inches | | Soil Type | Sandy Soil | | Sunlight Exposure | Full Sun | | UPC | 791111377586 | | USDA Hardiness Zone | 6 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** West Seed Farm - **Color:** Green,Mint,Red - **Expected Blooming Period:** Spring - **Expected Planting Period:** Spring - **Indoor/Outdoor Usage:** Outdoor - **Moisture Needs:** Moderate Watering - **Number of Pieces:** 300 - **Soil Type:** Sandy Soil - **Sunlight Exposure:** Full Sun - **USDA Hardiness Zone:** 6 ## Images ![300 Red Shiso Seeds (Perilla Frutescens) Asian Herb - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51hRbtJdv-L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good seeds! *by P***N on June 21, 2019* Seeds germinated in a few days, shiso on the way! ### ⭐ None of the seeds germinated.
