Bags of Basil Collection
- Loved by Pollinators
- Perfect for Pots
- Scented
We grow basil for many reasons here — first of course to scatter over things like tomato salad, but with these two, they look marvellous, creating an ornamental edging to any bit of sunny garden or greenhouse AND they are the perfect companion plant, keeping aphids at bay

- Basil 'Floral Spires Lavender'
On occasion we may need to send you an alternative variety to the one shown, which will be selected by our growing team to ensure its suitability. It will be of equal or greater value to the original. Please contact our customer service team if there are any problems.
