Perilla frutescens

Origin: East Asia via Virginia Beach

Improvement status: Landrace

Seeds per packet: ~40

Germination tested 12/2025: 40%

Life cycle: Annual

This is a feral green shiso found growing in the Virginia Beach area by our new friend Beatriz Balderas, whom I (Nate) met while helping to lead an all-day seed workshop for the Virginia Association for Biological Farming in Norfolk, Virginia, alongside fellow members of Ujamaa Cooperative Farming Alliance and its Ira Wallace Seed School. Beatriz was the only attendee who brought seeds to be processed during the event, an armload of still-green shiso stems laden with seeds. It was lovely to have the anise/basil/licorice scent of shiso wafting through the room, getting stronger the closer one got to Beatriz.

After processing them, it was clear there were far more seeds than any one person would need, so Beatriz gave me the seeds and asked if we'd like them for the EFN catalog. Upon seeing her photos of the leaves and realizing it was a nice large-leaf type (good for culinary applications like wrapping other foods or using it as a edible utensil to grab foods, as is traditionally done in parts of East Asia), I said we'd be more than happy to have it! It's also clearly a heavy seed producer, so no doubt is good for producing shiso's characteristally tasty edible oil (similar in flavor to sesame oil, and indeed often marketed as "wild sesame" oil).

GROWING TIPS: Direct sow after danger of frost has passed, or start indoors a few weeks earlier. Obviously shiso is prone to naturalizing, so do your best to harvest every seed unless you want it in your garden for many years. If it does begin to settle in against your wishes, you can get it of it by diligently weeding out seedlings for the next couple years.

Quality product you
Model: 18 SqFt(1.7 SqM), Model: 18 SqFt(1.7 SqM)
Summary: Great quality product, priced right. Cuts and installs easy-follow the instructions people!! PRO TIP-you don’t need to cover every square inch. OVERKILL!! Think about it-when a bell rings you could put your fingers on the edge and silence it right? Same rules apply here. A strip or square will isolate the vibration and notice when placed correctly— knock on the surface and see what vibrates or what part makes the loudest drowning and that’s a good clue of where you should put a piece of this…unless you’re trying to use it for temperature insulation no need to go ape on it. If you look at the bottom of a stainless steel sink, it’s got a stripe or a small sticker of insulation that keeps it from rattling. You can do that here. What’s important to note is the instruction specifically say use a roller to roll the ribs out until it’s smooth that way you’ve got maximum adhesion. I see a lot of pictures and videos from people that finished their install and didn’t follow this simple instruction. It makes sure that it’s stuck down before you put all your paneling and carpet back in and it’s a small step with a cheap wooden roller it’s easy. I’ll say the installation with this product is a breeze. You can use sharp scissors or a blade. It does get gummy after a while, and you may need to clean off your blade or your scissors, but it cuts very well and the ribs make it easy to size in space the thickness is fantastic and the backing paper comes off quite easily. I’ve done lots of installations with Graphics emblems you name it and this product is very easy to use and represents good value.

Good stuff !
Model: 36 SqFt(3.4 SqM), Model: 36 SqFt(3.4 SqM)
This is an excellent product. Easily moldable, cuttable with good scissors or razor knife, very sticky, works great. This pack was enough to do all 4 doors on a crew max truck, and I went wild on the fronts. I used 9 peices on each rear door which was just enough, and the rest on the fronts. I doubled up layers and even used some on the back of the door panels. If you follow the instructions and dont go wild you might even have extra left over. It works just like you would imagine. Without doing the entire cab there will still be road noise but this helped noise, better audio, no buzzing door panels, terrific improvement. It is kind of heavy, so extra weight is added to truck, but that really isnt a bad thing. It is noticable but in a good way. Get it. Use it.

Great product - Add foam product for complete solution
Model: 36 SqFt(3.4 SqM)
Used in two cars with speaker upgrades. Easy to install but get the roller for assured adhesion.removes "tinnyness" from large metal resonators. Use with foam absorptive material for a complete system.
