OTHER: Perilla Frutescens is a fragrant Asian herb with decorative zig-zag edged leaves. The edible leaves & flowers have a flavor that is somewhere between a citrus mint basil with spicy hints of cinnamon, cloves, & cumin.

The edible flowers are also used in salads & as an edible garnish. Dried leaves can be used as an herb for flavoring, or made into a tea.

Green Shiso is a "cut & come again" plant whose fast growth allows it to easily be grown as an annual in climates where it is not winter hardy. They also make a wonderful container plant.
