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.
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.
Red Shiso seeds germinate quickly, producing vibrant burgundy plants that thrive with minimal care. Their unique flavor—basil, mint, and anise with a hint of cinnamon—makes them a garden standout.
In the kitchen, Red Shiso is versatile — great for salads, sushi, pickles, and colorful infusions. A must-have for Asian cuisine lovers and edible garden enthusiasts!

Trifecta has been my trusted partner in the garden for my vegetables and to start my dahlias. Thank you MI Gardener team!
Fantastic Zucchini!! Very tender tasty and huge :)))
As described. Good germination.
We have nice fertile soil in our greenhouse and able to control those pesty little flea beetles that can decimate eggplants foliage. I've been keeping them under control with DE and my eggplants are massive in size, about 3-4 feet tall with 1 foot lower leaves.
The eggplants fruit are developing nicely, nearly doubling in size daily. There are plenty of blossoms too. We're expecting that we won't need to grow more for a few years, we're planning on freeze drying most if them.
