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.
I am grateful for every seed I got on my last purchase, almost everything germinated
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.

Excellent choices of varieties, all of which grow great in my area. I can't wait to winter sow them in a month or two. From past experience I have complete confidence that they will germinate and produce. Thanks, MIGardener!
Fun way to get new interesting varieties in the garden, I love the grab bags! My sister and I have purchased these for the last few years and we make a big deal about the big reveal. We video-call each delivery (we both purchase more than one set) and play some sort of game or announcement of each packet . It’s the highlight of fall and helps us get over the end of gardening season blues!
The taste of this tomato is super sweet. I made pico de gallo and it was a treat. I got a one pound tomato in my grow bag.
I got a good variety of seeds. I can’t wait to plant them next spring.
I wasn’t expecting that much garlic. My box was full of soft neck and hard neck.
