Native to Southeast Asia (its oldest use is as an edible oil in southern China), Shiso, also known as Perilla, is a leafy vegetable, herb, medicinal and ornamental plant. It has it all!
To help you grow your plants, download the mobile application Prêt à Pousser and receive personalised growing advice throughout the life of your plants.
This plant is very easy to grow and requires little maintenance. Simply pick the leaves with a pair of Shiso (... oops, scissors), as and when you need them!
Shiso can be a little slower than its neighbours to sprout. If it's next to a variety like Basil, which is a fast grower, it may take even longer! If after two weeks you still have nothing, send us a picture from the support section of the application.
