Perilla frutescens 'Zi Su' Medicinal Herb Seeds

Description

Add dramatic color and unique texture to your garden with these Perilla frutescens seeds. Known traditionally as 'Zi Su', this striking annual is prized by gardeners for its vibrant, deep purple-burgundy foliage and attractive, upright growth habit. The ruffled leaves add a bold, tropical flair to garden beds, borders, and containers, while its subtle spires of small, pale flowers add late-season interest.

This fast-growing plant thrives in warm conditions and is remarkably easy to cultivate, making it a superb choice for adding instant visual impact. It is valued for its architectural form and rich coloration, which provides an excellent contrast to green foliage and bright flowers.

    A Thoughtful Gift for Garden Lovers

    Finding the perfect gift for someone who loves gardening doesn’t have to be complicated. Seeds are more than just a present — they’re an experience. A promise of growth, color, and time spent outdoors doing what they love.

    Whether it’s a burst of flowers, a productive vegetable patch, or a greener lawn, carefully chosen seeds make a meaningful and lasting gift. They arrive with possibility, grow with care, and leave memories long after the season ends.

    For anyone who finds joy in planting and watching life unfold, this is a gift that truly keeps growing.
