Ocimum basilicum

100 seeds/pack | 60 days

This basil packs a bold, spicy anise flavor into small leaves on a dainty, compact plant.  For culinary use, it’s taste and texture hold up in high heat as well as long simmers. It can replace sweeter basils in a favorite recipe or fruit salad for a pungent kick, but it shines in the cuisine of Southeast Asia.
