Every spring and summer, there is always a purple leaf plant, and then after asking the neighbors of the old people know that it is perilla, the old yard in front of the growth of this purple leaf belongs to the wild perilla, which is a variety of perilla, in addition to the perilla and back to the perilla and the ear tooth variant of the form of the perilla two varieties, the following and we say a little bit about the difference between them.

Back and forth, also known as the cockle perilla, the leaves are narrower and longer, the top has a very deep serrated, calyx smaller, with medicinal and spice value. Ear-toothed variegated shiso, it is very similar to wild shiso, the main difference lies in the leaves, ear-toothed variegated shiso leaf base rounded or a few heart-shaped, with auricular tooth defects, in addition to the stamens slightly protruding from the corolla.

Wild perilla, also known as fragrant perilla and red perilla, is used medicinally and for food. The leaves are green and purple, broadly ovate or rounded, and densely villous. How to plant perilla? In fact, it is not particularly difficult for perilla planting, just like the perilla in front of their old house, all of them come out every year on their own, and they grow particularly strong. Perilla planting can be planted directly through the seed, in the case of soil moisture in the planting will be about a week after the emergence of seedlings, and wait until a little bit more grown up when the inter-seedling treatment. In addition, the perilla can also be first seedling transplantation, seedling mainly through the film low arch seedling transplantation technology to complete the planting process and most other crops planting is not very different, but also need to disinfection of the soil treatment, land preparation, fertilizer and other processes.

Then water to the small ditch, the amount of water to pour a little bit of water, so that the seeds have enough water to absorb, and then the perilla seeds scattered in the ditch inside the density of the seeds scattered not too tight, a centimeter two small seeds can be, and finally buried with soil to ensure that the seeds are not exposed to the outside.
