'Magilla'
Beefsteak Plant

If you like Coleus you will love Perilla. It has the same vibrant colors as it’s look- a- like but stronger stems, and it can be a perennial in the southern garden during a mild winter. The nice mounding growth habit, and large magenta, chartreuse, and green leaves makes this foliage plant a great addition to any border, mixed container or ringing a tree. Beefsteak Plant loves the heat, just keep well watered. Perilla 'Magilla' can grow to 18-36" tall with a 24" spread.

Hardiness: USDA Zones 9-11
Plant Use: Annual
