Frequently Asked Questions
Find helpful answers about Korean Perilla Seeds, germination, leaf harvesting, and growing requirements.
How do you germinate Korean perilla seeds successfully?
Sow Korean perilla seeds in a fine, well-drained seed-starting mix and keep the surface consistently moist. Avoid covering the seeds too deeply because light can help germination. Some seed lots benefit from cold stratification. Follow the supplier's instructions for the best results with your seeds.
What is the difference between Korean perilla and shiso?
Korean perilla and Japanese shiso are closely related forms of Perilla frutescens. Korean perilla, often called kkaennip, commonly has broad leaves used for wraps and Korean side dishes. Japanese shiso cultivars are often selected for different culinary uses and leaf characteristics. Check the cultivar name when purchasing seeds because common names vary.
When can you harvest Korean perilla leaves?
You can generally begin harvesting healthy leaves once the plant is established and has developed enough foliage to support continued growth. Pick individual mature leaves regularly and avoid removing too much foliage at once. Harvest timing depends on growing conditions and the development of your plants.
