Shiso (Perilla frutescens) is a Japanese herb from the mint family, it is known by several other names including perilla, beefsteak plant, Chinese basil and purple mint. There are three variations of colour: green, red/purple and bi-colour (green and purple). Each adds spectacular brightness to a garden and they look most impressive grown together in an ornamental bed or at the end of a row in the vegetable patch.

We’re currently waiting for our shiso plants to grow on—more stock is expected shortly, so sign up to be notified as soon as they’re back in stock.

Leaves and flowers of all shiso plants are edible and bi-colour leaves, along with green, have the strongest flavour that is likened to mint with an earthy depth and hints of basil, cumin, cinnamon, and anise. Leaves can be chopped and tossed into salads in place of basil or mint, and added to soups, stir-fries, and casseroles or as the quintessential garnish to plates of sushi and sashimi. The purple leaf is lighter in flavour and is traditionally used for its colour, most famously to add the distinctive purple to ume fruit in umeboshi, a staple of Japanese cooking. Tiny, edible flowers of all colour plants emerge in late summer and these make exquisite decorations and add a surprising burst of characteristic herbal flavour to fish and vegetable dishes and look fantastic as toppings to ice cream, sorbet and other desserts. When the flowers start to turn to seed the buds can be picked and added to soy sauce for an original, fragrant dip for sushi and sashimi.

Although perennial in some Asian climates shiso is an annual, non-hardy plant in the UK growing fast in late spring, rapidly building height and throwing out abundant leaves, it passes to flower in late summer before dying& with the first frost. Capable of reaching heights of over 1m shiso will remain low and bushy if growing tips are pruned in the same way fresh mint is harvested.

Growing shiso is straightforward and rewarding with impressive yields produced in quick time. If you can grow basil you can grow shiso as the requirements are the same. In the garden plant into free-draining, moist soil once all risk of frost has passed, aim for exposure to full or partial sun. In a pot use standard compost and if available, mix in composted bark. Mulch will help in both scenarios, as leaves are more succulent when the soil is kept moist. Harvest leaves, growing tips and flowers throughout the season. The more growing tips you pinch out the bushier your plant will remain.

Please be aware shiso plants will not survive frost. Please harden plants off and plant out when risk of frost has passed. More detail below.

Remove and dry all leaves before the first frost and store for adding to sauces, soups and stews like any other herb. Leaves, either dried or fresh, make an excellent tea.

Shiso is a great source of calcium, potassium, iron, vitamins A, B2 and C and is rich in Omega-3 fatty acids and rosmarinic acid, which has powerful anti-inflammatory properties, making them a healthy choice for humans. Shiso leaves are however toxic to cows and other livestock and although they will usually avoid them please cultivate shiso where they cannot be reached by these animals.

Effective but may be uncomfortable
Color: Pink & Beige, Size: Medium/Large(fits size 8 to 11)
I have eczema on my feet and use a prescription cream that I leave on overnight. I often have a problem sleeping in socks but the silicone feels cool on my feet. The only drawback I have is the opening of the socks feel very tight around my ankles making them uncomfortable on me. I wish the opening was a bit more flexible.

Burned my already sensitive feet, too big
Color: Pink & Beige, Size: Medium/Large(fits size 8 to 11)
Feels icky, and the heat gets trapped and literally felt like my feet were being burned by these. The bottoms of these feel prickly and they are way too big. You have to sit still and cannot walk in them.

Just as good as paraffin wax
Color: Pink & Beige, Size: Medium/Large(fits size 8 to 11)
I might prefer these socks over paraffin wax. They are comfy and very moisturizing. I use these socks once a week to keep the heels and soles of my feet moisturized between pedicures. I rinse with warm, soapy water then hang to dry. They are hard to walk in, but there's a saying printed in the socks that's says something to the effect of "take a break, stay off your feet" lol I love that as a reminder to put my feet up and relax

Love these!
Color: Pink & Beige, Size: Small(fits up to size 7)
Love these! As I write this review, I’m sitting in my recliner with these on. I have had other silicone socks in the past and would like to share a few of the things that I have learned. These fit great! The others were 2-3 sizes too big because you could not order a size. I wear a size 7 women’s shoe. I got the smaller size. I walked around my apartment in my old ones and they got kinda yucky. Now, I sit in my recliner, put them on and chill for a few hours. I now take them off and put in a ziplock bag so they stay nice and clean (no cat hair!). I use them once a week usually on Saturday or Sunday as I’m a working girl. Also, I use Auqaphor before I put them on and put cotton socks on after I’m finished. Your feet will be SO soft. This is not a one and done…I do this every week especially during sandal season! I know this was lengthy and I hope you got some tips.

Warm, roomy, hopefully long lasting w/use!
Warmy Dormy is what we say when we feel comfortable and warm in anything like a heated blanket or footed pjs! These feel warmy dormy all day long!
