Perilla frutescens is a short-lived plant, and its growth cycle is generally only one year. This is because Perilla frutescens is panicum miliaceum, and its growth cycle starts from the initial growth years ago, and then it will gradually wither. The leaves of perilla frutescens will dry up in autumn and eventually die.

Perilla frutescens has a short life, but its seeds have a long life. Under suitable conditions, perilla seeds can survive for up to 2 years. This means that even if the perilla plant dies, as long as the seeds are preserved and planted in time, new perilla plants can still reproduce.

In addition to short life span, there are other places to pay attention to when planting perilla seedlings. For example, perilla seedlings like to grow in sunny, well-drained and fertile places, so we should choose suitable soil and location for planting. At the same time, perilla seedlings also need enough water and nutrients, so they need to be fertilized and watered regularly during the growing season.

Generally speaking, although the life span of perilla seedlings is short, as long as the correct planting methods and precautions are mastered, healthy and beautiful perilla plants can still be planted, so that people can appreciate the unique beauty of perilla in a short time.
