Botanical Interests- Basil, Purple Petra Organic

A mild, sweet taste that is perfect for those who love basil’s flavor, but shy away from too much herbal spiciness. It’s excellent in a variety of dishes, including pesto, pasta, and salads. ‘Purple Petra’ also makes a lovely pink-tinted vinegar or oil. Grow it as a companion plant for your tomatoes or in other areas of the garden as an ornamental. Try pairing it with ‘Lemon Drop’ French marigold or Bells of Ireland for vibrant contrast.
