Perilla frutescens

Origin: East Asia via Virginia Beach

Improvement status: Landrace

Seeds per packet: ~40

Germination tested 12/2025: 40%

Life cycle: Annual

This is a feral green shiso found growing in the Virginia Beach area by our new friend Beatriz Balderas, whom I (Nate) met while helping to lead an all-day seed workshop for the Virginia Association for Biological Farming in Norfolk, Virginia, alongside fellow members of Ujamaa Cooperative Farming Alliance and its Ira Wallace Seed School. Beatriz was the only attendee who brought seeds to be processed during the event, an armload of still-green shiso stems laden with seeds. It was lovely to have the anise/basil/licorice scent of shiso wafting through the room, getting stronger the closer one got to Beatriz.

After processing them, it was clear there were far more seeds than any one person would need, so Beatriz gave me the seeds and asked if we'd like them for the EFN catalog. Upon seeing her photos of the leaves and realizing it was a nice large-leaf type (good for culinary applications like wrapping other foods or using it as a edible utensil to grab foods, as is traditionally done in parts of East Asia), I said we'd be more than happy to have it! It's also clearly a heavy seed producer, so no doubt is good for producing shiso's characteristally tasty edible oil (similar in flavor to sesame oil, and indeed often marketed as "wild sesame" oil).

GROWING TIPS: Direct sow after danger of frost has passed, or start indoors a few weeks earlier. Obviously shiso is prone to naturalizing, so do your best to harvest every seed unless you want it in your garden for many years. If it does begin to settle in against your wishes, you can get it of it by diligently weeding out seedlings for the next couple years.

One size smaller is perfect!
Color: Navy, Size: 10 Years
This suit fit perfect but I did order one size smaller than my grandson normally wears. It is very well made and he can't wait to wear it in the wedding.

Great material, sharp looking suit!
Size: 7, Color: Light Blue
Very nice suit! We got tons of compliments. Please note it does NOT come with an undershirt. We used this for a First Holy Communion, but I wouldn't hesitate to use it in a wedding! The material was the best that I've seen compared to the four other suits I bought on amazon (I was skeptical and crunched for time)...this won! Great value for the money too. My kid felt very sharply dressed, and wants to find another occasion to wear this light blue suit lol
