Start harvesting leaves after the plant is 8 inches tall or taller.

Most home gardeners can’t tell whether the seeds are dormant or not, which is why buying them from a trusted source is a must. If you’re not sure if your seeds are dormant or not, you can store them in your refrigerator at temperatures between 35°F to 45°F (2°C to 7°C) for 1 to 3 months before sowing. – Preparation tips Shiso is native to India and China, where it grows wild in mountainous regions.
