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.

Dark Opal Basil grew all through summer into fall in a slightly shaded area. Great taste and color. Definitely will grow again.

Must Grow for Basil Lovers!

It is a beautiful color, has an amazing fragrance, and is not quick to bolt. I've been growing this type since 2022 and my garden is never complete with out it!
