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.

So ready to sow!

This would be the first time growing this variety. Im sure it will be great like all the other MIGardner seeds I have gotten!

To basil, or not to basil, that is the question

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.
