5 Name : Emily Waala Location : , After accidentally killing off all of my sweet basil, I was almost too discouraged to plant these seeds. I’m glad I did though because they are thriving! I have already had to divide and transplant them twice and we still have a few weeks to go before they can go outside. Awesome germination and beautiful color! 18-Mar-2016
5 Name : Lindsay Kalinowski Location : , My favorite basil. Beautiful color. Flowers are pink and give pretty contrast. I like to plant this with Thai basil and red acre cabbage. Purple tones in other plants compliment the opal basil. 05-Aug-2017
4 Name : Joseph Location : , A very beautiful specimen indeed. I give these as gifts to friends and family. One downside is that the plant will start to turn green if it doesn’t receive enough sunlight. 16-Aug-2018
5 Name : PATRICIA COSENZA Location : , I love this basil. It tastes just as good as regular green basil but the purple plant is so pretty like an ornamental. Yes, nice enough to give as gifts. 18-Nov-2018

5 Name : leela.dreamhome Location : , Zone 9b Central Valley California: Mild Winters/Hot Dry Summer Gorgeous! More purple than pic suggests. Great germination, transplants with ease. Freeze leaves in flat layers in ziploc bags to retain pretty purple color and good-as-fresh flavor. Refreshing and beautiful in iced water or tea. 28-Nov-2020
