Product Description
Ocimum basilicum Purple Basil is an aromatic culinary herb valued for its colourful foliage and versatile use in cooking. Its dark leaves give gardens and containers a striking contrast while still providing the fresh basil flavour used in many dishes.
Purple basil can be harvested regularly for fresh use in salads, sauces, pasta dishes, garnishes, marinades, and other recipes. The leaves can also be used to add colour to culinary presentations.
It performs best in warm conditions with plenty of sunlight and fertile, well-drained soil. Regular pruning and harvesting help keep the plant compact and encourage more branching.
When allowed to mature, the plant produces flower spikes that can attract bees and other beneficial pollinators.
