Ocimum 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.

The cloves are large, full and heavy. Of the two cloves I kept (shared 2 with my daughter), 12 were large enough to plant, 1 will be consumed.
Received 9 or 10 large, nice quality cloves of elephant garlic. Packaged nicely. Planted them right up and looking forward to seeing what sprouts next season.
Sicilian was by far the best clove Size and quality
They are absolutely hard working and I don't think my garden could've been as productive without them
So beautiful I can’t wait to plant next growing season
