## Overview

Seed Needs Shiso Seeds offer a premium, non-GMO heirloom collection of green and red Perilla varieties, delivering fast germination, robust growth in full sun, and versatile culinary uses. Packaged for freshness and ease, these seeds empower millennial gardeners to cultivate vibrant, flavorful herbs that bring authentic Asian flavors and striking color to any indoor or outdoor garden.

## Description

Green and red shiso (Perilla frutescens), also known as Japanese basil, are aromatic herbs with distinct, serrated leaves that add vibrant flavor and color to culinary dishes. Green shiso offers a fresh, slightly minty taste, while red shiso, with its striking burgundy hue, has a bolder, earthier flavor often used in pickling or as a garnish. Both varieties thrive in well-drained soil and full sun, attracting pollinators while serving as versatile ingredients in Asian cuisine, herbal teas, and traditional remedies for their antioxidant properties. Their self-seeding nature ensures a reliable presence in gardens.

Review: Worth the trouble for the taste, these are good seeds. - We purchased these seeds at the end of winter and used planting pucks and a seed warmer mat to grow them indoors until the time was right in the spring to transplant them. They were tiny plants for months, before and after slowly transitioning them first to a covered porch and then to our raised bed gardens. Eventually, they’ve grown to be roughly 2 feet tall and at least 16” wide. Both the green and red Shiso leaves taste delicious when we use them for our culinary needs. They take quite some care for the first couple months, but once established, they only require sun and water. They’ve thrived in our 100+ degree Texas summer. I’ll definitely grow them again.
Review: These are germinating machines!!! - After four days, I had strong little seedlings pop up (see photo 1). Within 10 days, they had their baby leaves and were just taking off like crazy. WOW! The germination rate was killer.... Much better than my fescue mounds, black-eyed Susans, or Muhl grass. Just about every borage pod had a plant growing inside it. I kept them in the bathroom at 65 degrees, with no heat mat, and kept them relatively moistened, giving them a good squirt every day. I did not pre-soak my seeds in water before planting.

## Features

- Appearance: Green shiso has bright, serrated green leaves with a minty look, while red shiso features deep burgundy leaves, both with a distinctive, slightly wrinkled texture.
- Flavor: Green shiso offers a fresh, minty, and slightly basil-like taste, whereas red shiso has a bolder, earthier flavor, often used in pickling or as a garnish.
- Culinary Uses: Both are staples in Asian cuisine, with green shiso enhancing salads and sushi, and red shiso coloring pickles like umeboshi or flavoring beverages.
- Growth: Both thrive in full sun and well-drained soil, are easy to grow, and self-seed, making them reliable annuals in gardens.
- Quality: All herb seeds packaged by Seed Needs are intended for the current and the following growing seasons. All seeds are stored in a temperature controlled facility that is free of significant amounts of moisture.
- Quantity: Seed Needs offers generous quantities. You can share with friends and family, or you can save the extra seeds until the following season, if properly stored.
- Packets: Each seed packet displays an artful illustration of the variety to be grown, as well as detailed seed sowing information on the reverse side. They measure 3.5" wide by 5" tall.
- Promise: Seed Needs will never knowingly supply GMO based seed products. The vast majority of our seeds are open pollinated & heirloom, with the exception of a few hybrids.
- Germination: Seed Needs packets contain some of the freshest seed available. Direct from the growers. If sown correctly, you will begin seeing results in only a matter of days.
- Freshness: All herb seeds are packaged in tear resistant and moisture resistant packaging. This keeps the seeds a whole lot fresher than the competitions selection!
