Blue Spice Basil
Fantastic
Yummy fragrance and healthy plants.
Great quality at a price that can't be beat!
This has become one of my favorite varieties of basil (and I very much enjoy basil!). An excellent germination rate (pretty much 100%), and once established, a very happy plant, indeed. At one point last season (2024), I cut back the basil as it had started to shade out some other plants. I also harvested about half late in the season. Well, cut and come again-there was plenty in the fall to harvest before the frost came. I highly recommend drying and using for herbal tea for the winter with a touch of raw honey. The bees quite enjoyed visiting the flowers once in bloom. :)
I just planted them and they look beautiful so far
Excellent Germination!
One of my favorite things to grow is spinach, I grow mostly in containers so I like to try and get as much as possible out of my small garden. This variety definitely does that. I get massive leaves and fill up a gallon sized ziplock bag relatively quickly every week when the harvest begins.
Germination went very well, popped up within a few days. Growing well!
Nice I like it. Its perfect
