Shiso Perilla

Shiso Perilla

The Shiso Perilla is a vibrant, aromatic herb cherished across Asian cuisine—especially in Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese cooking. Its distinctive flavor combines notes of mint, basil, anise, and cinnamon, making it a versatile favorite for garnishes, sushi, salads, pickles, and teas.

Available in both green (Ao Shiso) and red (Aka Shiso) varieties, this herb isn’t just flavorful—it’s beautiful too. The red form offers striking ornamental color in garden beds or decorative containers, while both types bring lush texture to edible landscapes. Packed with vitamins, antioxidants, and omega-3 fatty acids, Shiso Perilla is as nutritious as it is eye-catching.

Sun Requirements ▾

Shiso thrives in full sun to partial shade. Aim for at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal leaf flavor and growth. In very hot climates, provide light afternoon shade to prevent leaf scorching.

Watering Instructions ▾

Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Water deeply when the top inch of soil begins to dry out. Good drainage is essential to prevent root rot. Mulching around the base helps retain soil moisture in hot weather.
