Start indoors 6 to 8 weeks before your last frost date for a spring planting, or direct sow in the late summer. Transplant seedlings outdoors after hardening off, and space plants 6 inches to a foot apart. Be sure temperatures are warm, as perilla thrives in warmer weather. Keep soil moist and fertilize as needed. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHarvesting Perilla\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePerilla can be harvested as soon as the plants are well-established. Harvest leaves as you would any other herb. If you directly sow this variety, you can use the leaves from the seedlings you thin out as an early harvest. Avoid taking too many leaves at once to keep the plant strong and ensure continuous harvests. Perilla thrives in the heat so summer will have the most prolific harvests. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCulinary Tips\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePerilla has a wide variety of uses in Asian cuisines. Try it in your favorite sushi recipes, or wrap other foods in it before cooking. Add as a flavorful garnish to soups or mix it into a salad. It works especially well in salads when grown as a microgreen. One popular Korean recipe is kkaennip jjim, a perilla dish where the leaves are steamed and marinated. They can also be steamed and then filled with meat or anything you choose.
