Purple Perilla Leaf Plant Seeds for Planting Non-GMO Heirloom Organic Garden Seeds, High Germination

Description

Planting Instructions: Soak Purple Perilla seeds for 24 hours before sowing. Cold stratify by refrigerating moist seeds for 4-6 weeks to break dormancy. Sow seeds on the soil surface or lightly press into moist, well-drained soil; do not cover as seeds require light to germinate. Start indoors 6-8 weeks before last frost or direct sow in spring after frost risk. Thin or transplant seedlings spaced 10-12 inches apart.
Sunlight & Soil: Prefers full sun to partial shade and fertile, well-drained soil enriched with organic matter.
Watering Tips: Keep soil consistently moist but avoid waterlogging. Water at the base to reduce disease risk.
Best Season to Grow: Sow indoors late winter or early spring; transplant or direct sow outdoors after frost.
Harvesting Info: Harvest leaves when plants reach 8 inches tall; pinch to encourage bushier growth and prevent flowering for longer leaf production.
