Purple Dark Opal - Organic Basil Seeds
🚚 FREE SHIPPING for all orders over $79!
Purple Dark Opal basil brings deep wine-colored leaves a source of anthocyanins, turning salads, vinegars, and pestos into jewel-tone dishes. The flavor is classic sweet basil with a hint of clove. Bred in the 1950s, it won an AAS award for both looks and taste.
Pinch often to keep it leafy and delay flowering; blossoms will still draw bees when you finally let them open. Basil loves heat, regular water, and good drainage—stress can push it bitter. Use fresh for the brightest color, or dry for a dusky herbal tea. A single row adds flavor in the kitchen and drama in the bed.
