How to plant/cultivate

The plant was introduced into Korea before the Unified Silla era, when it started to be widely cultivated.In its natural state, the yield of perilla is not high. If the stem is cut about 5 centimetres (2.0 in) above ground level in summer, a new stalk grows and it produces more fruit. Leaves can be harvested from the stem cut off in the summer, as well as from the new stalk and its branches, throughout summer and autumn. The seeds are harvested in autumn when the fruits are ripe[4]
