About this seed

Why gardeners choose this variety

Basil's journey across food cultures has produced forms grown as much for leaf colour as for aroma. Purple Basil combines the familiar kitchen herb with a darker foliage accent that can shape the appearance of an edible garden.

Branching stems carry aromatic leaves suited to fresh sauces, tomato dishes and chopped herb mixtures. Plant it beside green herbs for contrast, or keep a sunny patio pot within easy harvesting reach. Pick tender tips as the plant develops to encourage leafy growth. Purple intensity can change with light and plant development, giving the foliage a changing seasonal character.
