Direct sow after last frost, or sow indoors 4-6 weeks before last frost on the surface of moist potting soil. Pat down the seeds firmly, but do not cover. Keep lightly moist until germination. Transplant 12-24\" apart. Harvest leaves early in the morning for best quality, flavor, and ability to keep in storage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSeed keeping notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAllow seedheads to dry on the plant. Cut the stalks below the lowest seed clusters. If necessary, dry the seedheads further in the sun on a sheet or table away from moisture and precipitation. When fully dry, whack the seedheads in a bucket, allowing the ripest seed to fall. Sift through strainers to remove the largest chaff, and then winnow off the lighter chaff with your breath, a fan, or the wind.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Resilient Roots Farm","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":21870085374032,"sku":"HERB-026","price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2406\/3467\/products\/vietnamese_perilla.jpg?v=1571609442","url":"https:\/\/trueloveseeds.sbs\/products\/la-tia-to-vietnamese-perilla","provider":"Truelove Seeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
