AnnualOcimum basilicum. Dark Opal basil is a stunning, ornamental herb known for its deep purple, almost black leaves and fragrant aroma. This variety not only adds a splash of color to gardens but also provides a unique flavor, combining traditional basil sweetness with a hint of spice. Ideal for both culinary and decorative use, Dark Opal basil can be used in salads, pesto, and as a garnish.
Can't wait to plant. Your seeds always grow. Thank you
I am grateful for every seed I got on my last purchase, almost everything germinated
This basil variety has been one of my favourite things I've ever grown -- so simple, but boy is the colour, smell, and taste worth it. Super gorgeous, would definitely recommend!
This is a fun one to grow, tastes just as good as most genovese basil types, but has the added bonus of the pretty purple, and is nice in salads and bruschetta. It does fade when cooked.
This would be the first time growing this variety. Im sure it will be great like all the other MIGardner seeds I have gotten!
Germanated quickly on a heat mat. Off the mat and growing ready to transplant early/mid april. Excited for leeks this autumn
Last year I bought seeds from my local store and I didnt get anything to germinate. This year I purchased all my seeds from MIGardener and I've had to give seedlings away cause nearly all the seeds sprouted!!!
Great germination! I'm excited to see how the onions turn out
My only complaint is that I was not prepared for how well and fast all of the seeds would grow soI had to pot up earlier than expected! I am very happy with all of the seeds I have purchased from here!
I think I got near perfect germination on these. Cauliflower has always been challenging for me to time it out and know when to harvest. I've been learning that crops that have purple or reds in them (looking at my red lettuce varieties and purple sprouting broccoli) seem to bolt less quickly than their green counterparts in heat.
