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.
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!
These are definitely 'To Basil'. It's the first purple variety I've managed to grow easily.
I grew them in pots, I grew them in the ground. I brought some cuttings inside over this winter, and they're doing splendidly on a windowsill. Very decorative and taste great.
Bought multiple times and it always does so well!

I grew only a few seeds, but they came up fine, and I was able to get some delicious, sweet melon! I sprayed it once with a copper fungicide, and I should have done it a second time, but I still go melons. (I have a struggle with fungal problems here). Easy to grow, easy to eat!
This stuff feed my garden all summer. Highly recommend
This was one of my first tomatoes from MIgardener seed and I loved it so much. Very tasty green tomato, and even though it was only in a smallish container, it was one of my best producers! Nice clusters (not quite so big and dense as the photo, for me at least...) and great flavor for eating fresh in the garden. I'm not the best with tomatoes, I don't treat them as well as I should, and I grow in Seattle (8b?) which is finicky weather every year, so I was surprised these did so well! Will definitely grow again. Unfortunately I don't have any pictures saved on the vine, but the little green one in the attached photo is one of them!
Love sales. Time to stock up
Pollinators love this flower. Especially honey bees.
They grew in spring then reseeded themselves for fall.
