For the Perilla Magilla Vanilla which ATP has in their database as a Perilla, and lists a trade name of 'Balmagnilla', I find that the CanadianFood Inspection Agency lists this plant as a Solenostemon, isn't that the name for Coleus.? http://www.inspection.gc.ca/en...

The Royal Horticulture society lists 'Balmagnilla' as an accepted name for a Perilla. http://apps.rhs.org.uk/horticu...

And someone has made a cross between a Solenostemon scutellarioidesxPerilla frutescens naming it 'Gage's Shadow'; so is that a Coleus/Perilla hybrid?

This gets more confusing the more I search. If this keeps up I may just plant Petunias! Rolling on the floor laughing
