Enjoy, Cuilionn. I've talked online to southern gardeners who call perilla a weed because it seeds itself everywhere. But last year I tried it and only got a few spindly plants (they were crowded in a pot to be fair). Keep them warm and watered for sure, and I wouldn't worry about them seeding around up here in the north.

I'm trying to limit my garden space, so I'm trying some edible ornamental beds. Garlic chives are everywhere anyway (they seed around and the flowers are welcome in August). I've got parsley and cabbages between the pansies and I'm about to plant basil beside the colchicum bulbs, to maybe hide the foliage as it dies back. My favorite basil is African Blue, which I can hold over winter in a big pot and take cuttings for spring. I haven't had luck with overwintering any other basils.
