AnnualOcimum 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.
Can't wait to plant it next spring!
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.
Awesome color on these. Beautiful addition to the (majority pink shades) zinnias I usually grow.
I have way more celery than I have room to plant!
Planted my basil as soon as thepackets arrived!
Last year I decided to plant a "tunnel" of sunflowers on the other side of my tall blueberry bushes and these added a colorful variety to the typical yellow! These are now a favorite that will be a "grow again!"
I received a packet of this mix with a previous greenstalk order through MIgardener (best price around!) and was pleasantly surprised how easy it was to grow and how delicious it was! I’ve never grown salad greens before and this was the perfect mix. Even after burning out on gardening late in the summer, I will always look forward to growing this salad green mix in the spring. Thanks for introducing me!
