So great to have fresh Shiso again!
Unlike Japan you can’t get it at supermarket in NZ, so if you don’t grow it you don’t get any…
I let it go to seed every year, so all my plants are self seeded…
oishi!

It’ll take over your entire garden, watch out! 😉
I’ve been warned of this before and you know what – its a problem I would like to have! I’m the same with mint – I love it & can never grow enough! The one plant I do have an infestation of is pepperment. I planted some at same time as mint, and the peppermint seems far more aggressive… LIke I just took 4 cuttings off mint plant to get more mint going whereas I pull out a dozen tiny peppermint plants every day… One funny consequence – the garden at west side of house has a steep bank so when I pull out peppermint seedlings, I throw them down the bank… When I use a weed eater/strimmer down in that area, it now reeks of peppermint as I shred hundreds of peppermint plants… very refreshing!
