Product Description
Basil 'Petra Red' is one of the most ornamental plants to line a path and on the plate from the summer garden. I also love picking Basil 'Petra Red' to mix in leaf salads. It has pretty, cut leaves in a deep black-crimson. This is a new variety we’ve trialled which seems to grow better than other crimson basils in our greyer climate.
- Seeds: 500
| Sowing: | Sow in April- July under cover. Pinch out growing tips so plants bulk out. Grow under cover or plant out in June/July when nights are warm. Basil loves strong sun, rich soil and plenty of water. |
| Final Thinning/Planting Distance: | 20cm apart |
| Harvesting: | 6-8 weeks from sowing. Remove individual leaves or stems; don't cut the plant to the ground. Remove flowers as they appear. Leaf production: 3-4 months summer and early autumn |
