Perilla frutescens

We grow this in the garden. However I've yet to see any one using it LOL. Here's the link on how to use Shiso in cooking ...etc...

This plant had been attacked by some kind of mildew and has already gone to plant heaven.

My neighbour managed to get some new seedlings and she grew them at another spot. So far the plant is growing under a bright shade and it is growing well.
