A decorative and highly aromatic culinary herb with medium dark purple leaves with a sweet aroma. Ideal for pesto in oil!
Non hybrid
Not frost resistant
Heat-loving, so keep in a sunny, sheltered place, in a container or even under glass. When harvesting, always cut the tips of the shoots - the basil then sprouts new shoots from the axils, thus becoming bushier and the yield increases. More growing tips at the species basil.
