Call me crazy for recommending purple perilla (if you grow it, you know what I mean),
Call me crazy for recommending purple perilla (if you grow it, you know what I mean),
but it's simply a great plant. Direct-sow seeds in your garden in spring and you'll soon
have hunder of tiny, deep purple seedlings.These quickly turn into bushy, dramatically
dark plants, which can fill the gaps in your beds from summer through the first frost.
Perilla, unfortunately, self-sows prolifically. But it plays so well with others that you'll
be temmpted to leave more plants than you pull-and pulling them is easy. Perilla also
makes a wonderful filler for late-summer and fall bouquets.
