Thompson and Morgan Microgreens Perilla Shiso Red Seeds

Bring a vibrant peppery kick to your kitchen with the Thompson and Morgan Microgreens Perilla Shiso Red Seeds. Its leafy shoots grow quickly and add a unique oriental flavour to salads and Asian dishes. You can sow the seeds all year round on a sunny windowsill or in a greenhouse, making it easy to involve the whole family in growing and enjoying fresh microgreens every month. With a taste reminiscent of liquorice and attractive green-red leaves, it's a simple way to elevate your lunches and sandwiches with homegrown goodness. 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.
