Green perilla

Product number: 694190
Origin: East Asia
Latin: Perilla frutescens

Beautiful green sprout with a delicious, subtle, nutty flavour. They grow best in a thin layer of seed compost in a light place. Give them plenty of warmth for good germination. Harvesting by thinning out gives some plants the chance to grow further, then place these in a larger pot.

This variety is grown as a microgreen (for the young plant with cotyledon or first true leaf). Microgreens are grown on moisture-retaining material (kitchen roll, cotton wool, soil). Dark and warm for germination, light and cooler after germination.

Names:
Latin: Perilla frutescens
Dutch: Groene Perilla
Also known as: Shiso
English: Green Perilla
