Sowing Advice
Start indoors in early spring, a couple of weeks after the last frost date, or direct sow outdoors in late spring. Soaking the seed for four to eight hours before sowing speeds up germination. Seeds germinate in 7 to 14 days with soil temperatures between 18°C and 20°C. Shiso requires some sunlight to germinate, so plant seeds directly on top of the soil or no deeper than 1,5 mm.
