Yes. And I would say it’s easier than basil. Actually, perilla (shiso) is in the mint family.
I read that after a few weeks’ sun, when the plant is getting mature, you can move it to a partial shade. I’ve never tried that but kept that in a sunny spot all the summer. The plant will die in late autumn or early winter. I’ve heard that it can be overwintered, which I might try this year, if the plant is in good shape.
