Warm season annual Maturity: Approx. 70 days Planting season: Late spring/early summer Germination Tip: Perilla need light to germinate, so do not cover seeds with any soil. Just keep soil moist and leave seeds on the surface, but cover it with clear food wrap. Should germinate within two weeks in warm soil (use heat mat if possible). Then cover the seeds with1/4" soil.
