Thompson and Morgan Microgreens Perilla Shiso Red Seeds

Bring a burst of oriental flavour to your kitchen with the Thompson and Morgan Microgreens Perilla Shiso Red Seeds. Their green-red shoots and a taste reminiscent of liquorice make every salad or Asian-inspired dish a little more exciting. You'll love how easy it is to grow these seeds all year round on a sunny windowsill or in a greenhouse, ensuring a fresh supply for your lunches and sandwiches every month. Everyone in the family can join in the fun of sowing, nurturing and harvesting these peppery microgreens in as little as ten to 14 days. Sow microgreens thickly in pots or trays, on the surface of a good quality, free-draining seed compost. Do NOT soak the seed prior to sowing. Water gently to settle the soil. Grow on a bright, sunny windowsill at an average temperature of 21-25C. Do not exclude light as this aids germination. In winter, pots can be sealed inside a clear plastic bag or placed in a propagator to maintain adequate germination temperatures. Sow seed every ten days for a continuous supply. Keep the compost reliably moist until seedlings have developed. Microgreens can be harvested from around 14 days after germination, when seedlings are around five centimetres tall.

Images may be included for illustration of supply but can vary due to seasonality changes (e.g. deciduous plants lose leaves in colder months). The pack contains 250 seeds.
