When is the best time to sow perilla seeds?

Perilla seed sowing time

Perilla is usually sown in spring. The climate in this season is relatively warm, which is suitable for seed germination. It grows faster after sowing. Generally, it is sown in March in the south and in April in the north, because the climate in different regions varies.

Perilla seed planting method and steps

1. Site selection and land preparation: Perilla prefers a light environment, so it needs to be planted in a sunny place, and the soil should be loose, fertile and well-drained. Sandy soil can be used. The land needs to be prepared before sowing, and the soil must be plowed.

2. Seed selection: The quality of seeds directly determines the germination rate, so when sowing perilla, you must choose plump, healthy and disease-free seeds. Be sure to avoid selecting dry or damaged seeds, which will seriously affect germination.

3. Sowing method: Perilla seeds are generally sown in rows. Furrows need to be dug with a row spacing of 60 cm and a depth of about two centimeters. After that, the seeds can be evenly sown and covered with soil. Watering is also required to keep the soil moist.
