Description

Excellent, reliable, quick-growing and heavy producing crimson-black basil, which outshone all others in this colour range in our basil trial. It’s great for planting in stripes and squares, alternating with the green basil forms from where you can pick harvests galore.

Care Tips

Grows well in a container, keep re-potting into a slightly larger pot when roots start to show through the drainage holes at the bottom. Water plants in the morning if possible. Keep plants bushy by pinching the tips and removing any flowers.
