Ocimum basilicum. Siam Queen basil is a vibrant Thai basil variety known for its unique, spicy-sweet flavor with an anise and licorice aroma. This herb features deep green leaves and striking purple stems and flowers, making it both a culinary and ornamental delight. The sturdy leaves maintain their shape and taste better than any other variety when cooked at high or extended cooking temperatures. Ideal for Asian cuisine, particularly Thai dishes, it enhances the flavors of curries, soups, and stir-fries.
Definitely a great basil to grow in the garden — great for pollinators and for beneficial companion planting! Plus, I’ve become fond of clipping sprigs of Siam Queen Basil for my tiny flower vases - really great for filler & even by themselves.
I grow Siam Queen Thai Basil in my flower beds every year. They are a gorgeous deep plum purple flower and the plant naturally grows to look just like an arranged bouquet. My Thai friend prefers this basil for her Thai Salad Wraps and my Mother and I like to cut the leaves and make a fresh cup of tea with them. Siam Queen is an excellent pollinator for the veggie garden too.
I grow a many varieties of Basil and this is one of the most beautiful! I grow so much that I can use it in my flower arrangements, and it makes the house smell so good!
Plant it as soon as I could, it's growing. Would recommend from this company. They rushed my order to me when I requested it because I was going to be out of town and I just wanted to make sure I have it before I left. So thank you again for that.
Great germination, flavor and a productive variety. Flower heads are a bit large if using to cook or dry but look great as an ornamental. I tend to cut the flower heads off as quickly as possible for this reason only. Will buy again as we love all varieties of basil and this one is an interesting healthy addition. They all have great uses.

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.
