What is the brocade perilla like? What are the growth conditions of Perilla frutescens and how to pair them with the plants?

Perilla and seed brassica are dazzling plants with easy-going, incredibly colorful leaves. They were beautiful in the flowerpot, and the glitter of the leaves lit up the flower bed.

Coleus blumei is a young tropical plant that grows for their leaves rather than their flowers. The leaf pattern is clearly located in the wild-spots, splashes and artistic edges of color shades, from purple, yellow, pink, strong red and bright yellowish green. Brocade perilla thrives. For generations, the roots of gaudy perilla plants have only been passed from one gardener to another, but the market has opened up in recent years, and the choice of varieties is now greater than ever.

Gardeners always find creative ways to use perilla. In the 19th century, Coleus was the star of Victorian bedding: an older garden book contains tempting references to basil mosaics, including a profile by George Washington in Boston's public garden.

Today, perilla is more common in flowerpots. Jimmy Jimmy Turner, director of the Dallas Botanical Garden (Dallas Arboretum), displays a variety of painted perilla in the 66-acre exhibition garden. He likes to capture the aesthetic combination of complex flower arrangement, but he also likes a simple combination of only two or three plants. Coleus works well in both cases: they don't get lost in mixed cultivation, with elephant ears, castor beans, trailing sweet potato vines or towering canna lilies, and they are so delicate that they can work with ferns, heucheras, or glowing blue scaevola. Turner added brocade perilla to the pots of silver, purple, blue and pink flowers and used them as a bright spotlight, filling a bed with shaky colors with pots full of luxurious yellow-green perilla.

Few plants prefer novice gardeners to perilla. Coleus thrives in some of the shade and needs not just regular watering, but thrives throughout the summer. If the plant sends out ears of flowers, pinch them off-they are the leaves you are after, and they are the hindrance.

Paired with the perilla plant

There are many different perilla plants, but they all have one thing in common: colourful grass plants are easy to grow and hot in summer. Some camellia are trailers and are well suited for hanging baskets; most are of the right size to fill the porch pot or perennial boundary of a place. Here are some ideas and combinations to try:

Flouncy Perilla forms a handsome contrast with the pointed leaves and bottle brush flowers of fountain grass.

Match the ink camellia with Artemesia,Plectranthus, dusty Miller and other silver-leaf plants.

White fragrant snowballs form lace around rose pink or chocolate leaf varieties.

The green edges around some perilla leaves perfectly match the yellow and green leaves of the ornamental sweet potato "Marguerite".

Try the bold yellow striped leaves of Camellia frutescens and canna.

Come on, plant perilla and vegetables in the flowerpot: purple, pink and green in bauhinia leaves, tomatoes, chili peppers and eggplant look great.
