The Britton Shiso is a stunning bicolor Perilla frutescens with green leaves on top and rich purple underneath. Its deeply crinkled foliage forms a bushy, upright plant that is heat-loving and quick to grow. The herb carries a bright, herbal aroma with a touch of spiciness—reminiscent of basil, mint, and cinnamon—and adds ornamental texture and color to sun-filled beds or containers throughout the season.

Shiso is valued in East Asian cuisine; Britton Shiso’s bicolor leaves offer a flavor that’s refreshing and complex, with notes of anise, basil, and citrus. It thrives in full sun to light shade, in well-drained soil, and should be kept evenly moist, especially in heat. The plant is fast-growing, produces abundant foliage, and can be grown in containers or garden beds; harvest typically begins in 4–6 weeks.
