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.
My only complaint is that I was not prepared for how well and fast all of the seeds would grow soI had to pot up earlier than expected! I am very happy with all of the seeds I have purchased from here!
I think I got near perfect germination on these. Cauliflower has always been challenging for me to time it out and know when to harvest. I've been learning that crops that have purple or reds in them (looking at my red lettuce varieties and purple sprouting broccoli) seem to bolt less quickly than their green counterparts in heat.
I have been buying seeds from you for the last 3 years. They germinate very well, and have produced the best gardens I have ever had. I just got my order for this year started in my greenhouse. For the first time I opened a packet of All Seasons Cabbage and there were no seeds in it. the rest of the order is doing great. The price of the seeds also good.

This is my first year growing straw flower. The germination rate is fantastic and you get so many seeds. Can't wait till they can moved outdoors and bloom in my purple flower bed.
Everything but the royal paste sprouted. Sometimes that happens. Will place another order for fall planting.
