AnnualThis Japanese heirloom is a spicy herb perfect for cooking Asian cuisine. With deep red leaves that smell like cinnamon and clove with a spicy flavor like cumin; this is a true showstopper. You can eat just the seedlings to toss into salads or grow them to maturity for more dynamic uses. A popular choice for adding color to pickling recipes. This variety loves sunshine.
* Please note! Red Shiso is toxic for grazing animals like cattle and horses. It is considered invasive in the Southeast and Midwest United States where it can self-seed aggressively in warm, humid climates.
Great seeds and great quality, as always!
Great service
I didn't open this email until I had a result from the second sowing of the red shiso seeds, not knowing that this was the only item from my order that was being requested for review.
I can now state definitively that there was a 0% germination rate
ill start at a five because i havent planted it yet. other seeds i have started from migardener have had excellent germination
I've planted these like 5 times and not one sprouted. I've tried ten different things based on internet anecdotes of temperamental behavior or needing stratification, and also consulted a book written by scientists which, from experimental data, indicate P. Frutescens should not need any special care to germinate. At this point I'll just be ordering a new pack from somewhere else.

I grew this pepper plant in a 20 gallon pot and it did very well. It produced dozens of small peppers that were spicy—hotter than your standard jalapeno. I put about 3 of these in my salsa to spice it up along with 5-7 whole jalapeños (I roast them which takes out a portion of the yea). This little plant produced so many peppers that I froze a gallon bag of them to use in recipes throughout the year.
I am loving this squash! It grows so long and has beautiful leaves. I grow it upward and loves it! I have harvested at least 3-4 on one plant already. The remainder of the blooms are male, and I am not sure if I will have any more. :( I have, however, planted more in the mean time hoping I will harvest as many as this one. I will definately grow more!. Thank you!
All is well and great service...
So far, everything we have purchased has had an almost 100% germination rate. And what sprouts has grown quickly and strongly. We are now big fans of MIgardener seeds!
I’ve had issues trying to germinate seeds bought from big box stores. Come to find out they are old and a waste of money. MI Gardener seeds are fresh, germinate quickly and stay good for years. My Pablo lettuce is still growing and I look forward to harvesting and eating it!
