Abstract
The purpose of this study was to improve the ornamental value of Perilla frutescens var. acuta. The growth of Perilla frutescens var. acuta was significantly varied as according to light intensities. The plant height, crown width, petiole length, leaf length, leaf width, stem diameter, and chlorophyll content were the greatest with 30% shade treatment. All of growth characteristics decreased as increasing shading levels. The anthocyanin contents also decreased with 70% shading level. The leaf color turned from dark purplish red to deep yellowish green, and the growth rate and ornamental value were the lowest with 70% shading condition.
