Magilla Perilla is commonly referred to as Magilla. Magilla produces a vibrant foliage of red, bronze and green on its strong stems. Its colors will come to life through early Spring, Summer and Fall, right up until the first frost. Magilla is desired most for its vivid foliage, fast, vigorous growth, heat tolerance, and mounding growth habit for landscape, beds, baskets and containers. This is a great annual for early Spring and Fall with vibrant colors to brighten up any container or landscape.
