Sowing Instructions:
To grow Microgreens Perilla/Shiso Red, begin by filling a shallow tray or container with well-draining compost or a growing medium. Evenly scatter the tiny seeds across the surface and lightly press them down. If sowing indoors, place the tray in a bright location with indirect sunlight and maintain a temperature of around 18-20°C for optimal growth. Outdoors, choose a sunny spot with well-drained soil and lightly rake the seeds into the surface. Keep the soil moist, but not waterlogged.
These microgreens typically germinate in 7-10 days and are ready for harvest in 14-21 days, once the leaves have reached a height of 5-10 cm. Perilla/Shiso Red thrives in moderate conditions, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. Simply cut the greens at the base when they are ready to enjoy their flavourful, vibrant addition to your meals. With minimal care and a fast-growing nature, these microgreens offer a unique taste and beautiful colour to your fresh dishes throughout the year.
