Perilla 'Magilla purple'

Feed Magillas with a light application of slow-release fertilizer once a month after planting and then again in mid summer. Or, feed every two weeks with a water-soluble fertilizer.³

Plant in a location that enjoys partial sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Magilla purple is thought of as tender, so remember to wait until your soil is warm and the night time temperature is well above freezing before moving outside. Magilla purple requires a soil ph of 6.1 - 7.8 meaning it does best in weakly acidic soil - weakly alkaline soil.

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Magilla purple is a tender plant.
