Perilla
Red Perilla, also called Red Shiso, Perilla frutescens 'Akashiso'. It is actually a very popular herb with aromatic scent of leaves used in Japanese and Asian cookery. The plant has beautiful purplish burgundy leaves with frilly edges, which can be used as a bedding plant. It is great for making contrasting gardens because it adds such interesting contrasting burgundy color and texture to your garden beds. It is an annual, which self seeds if you let it go to seed - you can't do that with regular basil.
