Perilla frutescens

Origin: East Asia via Virginia Beach

Improvement status: Landrace

Seeds per packet: ~40

Germination tested 12/2025: 40%

Life cycle: Annual

This is a feral green shiso found growing in the Virginia Beach area by our new friend Beatriz Balderas, whom I (Nate) met while helping to lead an all-day seed workshop for the Virginia Association for Biological Farming in Norfolk, Virginia, alongside fellow members of Ujamaa Cooperative Farming Alliance and its Ira Wallace Seed School. Beatriz was the only attendee who brought seeds to be processed during the event, an armload of still-green shiso stems laden with seeds. It was lovely to have the anise/basil/licorice scent of shiso wafting through the room, getting stronger the closer one got to Beatriz.

After processing them, it was clear there were far more seeds than any one person would need, so Beatriz gave me the seeds and asked if we'd like them for the EFN catalog. Upon seeing her photos of the leaves and realizing it was a nice large-leaf type (good for culinary applications like wrapping other foods or using it as a edible utensil to grab foods, as is traditionally done in parts of East Asia), I said we'd be more than happy to have it! It's also clearly a heavy seed producer, so no doubt is good for producing shiso's characteristally tasty edible oil (similar in flavor to sesame oil, and indeed often marketed as "wild sesame" oil).

GROWING TIPS: Direct sow after danger of frost has passed, or start indoors a few weeks earlier. Obviously shiso is prone to naturalizing, so do your best to harvest every seed unless you want it in your garden for many years. If it does begin to settle in against your wishes, you can get it of it by diligently weeding out seedlings for the next couple years.

4/5 Stars
Size: 4 Panel-88'', Color: Black
Very tall and easy to set up, the only thing I will say is that they do have large gaps in between, so you won't have 100% privacy unless you add a curtain in the back. Other than that, they are easy to fold, sturdy, and esy to assemble. The gaps are an easy fix so I would say they are worth it.

Great product and worth the money.
Size: 4 Panel-88'', Color: Black
Portable and stable. Perfect size and gives me the privacy I need when working from home. Stability is great as long as you place the stands correctly it won't wobble. I love it.

Attractive
Size: 4 Panel-88'', Color: Grey
The assembled product is just as described. The screens look great! I am using them to hide the cluttered shelving in my garage. The area now looks quite neat Something I must say, though, is that the assembly was extremely difficult. I had to use a silicone spray and some pounding to get the A and B poles to fit together. Also, it required a great deal of strength to stretch and hold the fabric panels so that the bars inserted in each hem lines up with the screws inserted in A/B poles. I strongly recommend having a partner to help with the assembly. while sc and screw into poles them once inserted intetchedtne end of each pole ( and B poles barely fit together. I used silicone spray on the end and then pounded them

It’s beige and not white. Once install - hard to disinstall. Need a drill to put it together

Does the job, but assembling by yourself is a nightmare
Size: 4 Panel-88'', Color: Black
Does it do the job? Yes, although as others said there are small gaps but it's not a huge deal. The price is also good. But the reason I'm giving it a 3/5 is simply because the assembly for this was a complete nightmare. I honestly don't think I would recommend this to anyone unless they have another person to help them assemble it, because doing it by myself was terrible. I don't think I'd buy this again, I think I'd opt to just spend a bit more money and save myself the trouble personally.
