Ornamental Edibles - Bicolored Shiso

(Perilla frutescens var. crispa)

We import this unique and easy to grow shiso because it is aromatic, tasty, and really beautiful in the garden. The fringed 3 inch leaves are a striking blue-green on top and dark burgundy underneath, and absolutely glow in the sun. The fragrant, branching 2-2½ foot plants bloom in profusion with pretty plumes of lavender- pink flowers. Shiso’s vibrant flavor is strongly herbaceous and citrusy. The leaves can be enjoyed in pickles, Asian salads, noodle dishes and sushi rolls.
