“Yet another Basil?” we hear you ask, particularly when you see it away from the many Basils we list in our Herb Section. But this one is very special – it has been specially bred as a fine, award-winning variety both for cut flower use and as a spicy, patio pot plant. With fresh, healthy green foliage, it bears (in as little as 12 weeks from seed) large heads of flowers of an intense purple/dark red colour. Needless to say, the whole plant has a strong, spicy fragrance and we do suggest you spare the odd specimen for your herb garden! 2˝ ft. (cut flower), 12-16 ins. (pot plant).
