Ocimum basilicum

A uniform, richly coloured basil with glossy deep purple leaves and a classic basil flavour. Grown for both culinary use and visual impact, ‘Deep Purple’ adds strong colour contrast to herb gardens, vegetable beds, and containers. Leaves can be used fresh or cooked and are especially attractive in salads, garnishes, and flavoured oils or vinegars. An annual basil that grows vigorously in warm conditions and full sun.

Approximately 120 seeds per packet
