Red shiso (Perilla frutescens) is a striking, deeply pigmented herb long prized in Japanese and East Asian kitchens. Its serrated leaves emerge green before quickly darkening to ri ch burgundy and purple tones, making it as ornamental as it is useful. The flavor is complex and unmistakable—bright and herbal with notes of basil, mint, citrus, and clove—stronger and more assertive than green shiso. Plants are fast-growing and productive, thriving in summer heat and responding well to regular harvesting, which encourages lush, bushy growth. Approximately 60-70 days to maturity. Each packet contains a minimum of 250 seeds. Show more
