Planting Instructions

Seed Preparation:

No special seed preparation is required. Direct sow or start indoors.

Sowing:

Sow seeds ¼ inch (0.6 cm) deep in seed trays or directly in the garden. Space seeds 1 inch (2.5 cm) apart. If sowing indoors, start 6-8 weeks before the last frost date.

Germination:

Seeds will germinate in 7-14 days at a temperature of 70-75°F (21-24°C). Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.

Transplanting:

When seedlings are 2-4 inches (5-10 cm) tall and have at least two sets of leaves, transplant them outdoors or into larger pots. Space plants 12-18 inches (30-45 cm) apart.

Care and Maintenance:

Water regularly to keep the soil moist. Shiso prefers full sun but can tolerate partial shade. Harvest leaves regularly to encourage bushier growth and prevent bolting.

Happy Gardening!
