Question
Can you tell me what type of plant, or the name of this plant? My daughter saw it in Cincinnati and was wondering what it is? Thanks so much.
Answer
Dear bspacher1951, I'm sorry that I cannot help you. While the plant looks like Perilla frutescens (perilla-mint), that species normally has darker leaves when they have red coloration (i.e., they are more dark maroon). Go Botany is a website dedicated to wild plants of the northeastern United States. Cultivated plants can hail from many locations in the world that are outside of my region of expertise. I apologize that I can't be of more assistance in this case.
