How do you germinate Korean Perilla seeds successfully?
Sow Korean Perilla seeds in a suitable seed-starting medium and keep the soil consistently moist without waterlogging. Germination may take one to three weeks under suitable conditions.

Removing flower stalks can help prolong leafy growth, although plant response varies with cultivar, temperature, and day length.
