Bi-color perilla has leaves that are green on top and purple underneath, so one plant covers most kitchen uses: fresh leaves for wraps and salads, or cooked with fish, crab and stir-fries. It is also traditionally steeped as a tea. A good first perilla for anyone who wants both looks and flavour.
- Soak the seeds in water overnight.
- Press them onto moist seedling mix and dust very lightly; keep in bright shade and damp.
- Transplant 25–30 cm apart once seedlings have 4 true leaves.
- Pinch the tips regularly and harvest the larger leaves first.
Tip: perilla flowers early under Malaysia's short days. Pinch off most flower spikes, but let one plant set seed — dry the spikes and save the seeds for your next sowing.
