Or you could even buy seeds online and try growing some in your garden - if basil and mint will grow, then so will shiso.Nate @ House of Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00999631992214200998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36752534.post-60530616594442813762008-09-30T11:54:00.000+08:002008-09-30T11:54:00.000+08:00Great photos.

They are like basil and need to be pulled out afterwards, but in the spring I find sprouts everywhere (especially in my cymbidium orchids and lemongrass for some reason), which I then transplant into the herb container. The purple tends to be bitter for some reason... Here are a few <A HREF="http://foodhoe.blogspot.com/search?q=shiso" REL="nofollow">recipes</A> I've collected.
