Thanks all. Dot, these don't get leggy that fast as they branch quite prolifically.

shiso can also be called japanese basil, or its latin name is perilla

Few random Coleus in the garden. Love them because they are very easy to grow in a well-drained soil and responds very quickly to small frequent applications of fertiliser. Bright sun as for Hibiscus. One of the few tropical foliage plants with beautiful leaves in autumn/sunset tones..

This one looks a bit like spinach/amaranth

I like the last one, especially. I used to grow these, but they got too leggy for me.

**ZanazaKar** · 09-21-2012, 05:15 PM
