GROWING CONDITIONS FOR PERILLA: Perilla is an annual which thrives in all planting zones. It can grow from two to three feet in height and resembles a larger version of basil. It will grow in full to partial sun but should only be planted outdoors after all threat of frost has passed. This herb needs well-draining soil and warm temperatures to thrive. The seeds can take anywhere from one to three weeks to germinate. Perilla seeds should be started indoors as most other seeds are. Place them in moist potting soil inside grow trays. Don’t cover the seeds heavily with dirt because they need some light to germinate. Once planted, place them in a warm location to encourage the germination process. When the seeds have reached three inches tall, it’s time to move them outdoors. It’s important to pay attention to what else is planted near perilla. Where it’s a larger plant, it has a bigger root system. If you prefer container gardening and would still like to grow perilla, be sure the container is large enough to support the plant’s size and root system. Perilla doesn’t require a ton of care to keep it healthy and happy.
