Mitsuba is a beautiful shade-loving perennial herb widely used in Japanese cuisine for its fresh, aromatic flavour that combines hints of parsley, celery, and coriander. Its elegant green foliage brings softness and texture to the garden while producing regular harvests from spring through to autumn.

Young leaves and stems are delicious added fresh to soups, noodles, salads, rice dishes, and stir-fries, where their delicate flavour shines best. Unlike many culinary herbs, Mitsuba thrives in cooler, shadier spots, making it ideal for forest gardens, sheltered beds, or container growing.

Easy to grow and wonderfully productive once established, Mitsuba is an excellent choice for gardeners wanting to explore unique perennial herbs while making use of difficult shaded spaces.
