When to plant perilla seeds

1. Sowing time

It is generally propagated by sowing, and the sowing time is generally chosen in spring when the temperature is relatively mild, which is helpful for growth. Due to climate reasons, there are some differences in the timing between the north and the south. The spring warming in the south is faster, so mid-March can be selected. The spring warming in the north is slower, so April is more suitable. Since the weather is not very warm at this time and the climate is a bit cold, it may have a certain impact on growth, so after sowing, you can cover it with a film to keep it warm and moist.

2. Sowing Method

1. It has strong adaptability and is not very demanding on loam. It only needs better drainage and it is best to be a little fertile, which is helpful for growth.

2. Loosen the planting soil and sow the seeds at a row spacing of 60 cm. Spread the seeds evenly into the loam and cover them with a thin layer of soil.

3. After sowing, you can apply water immediately and keep it from being dry.

4. It doesn’t take long to grow, and it usually takes 2 and a half months to harvest. It is best to harvest when the weather is clear, and this period is more suitable.
