| Perilla frutescens var.
acuta f. viridis is a China-originating annual that escaped
from cultivation and naturalized, with a fragrant scent throughout.
The plants measure 50-10cm in height, with green stems and leaves.
The stems are square and hairy, with the opposite, broadly oblong
leaves with serrated margins. Flowers, white, set themselves in
racemes. Bloom time: August-October. |
