Basil (Ocimum basillicum) Purple Ball
£4.00
A beautifully striking variety of sweet basil, this plant packs an aesthetic punch! Smaller compact leaves and habit make this the most drought resistant variety that I have come across. There is also no compromise on flavour, as it is almost identical to the green varieties save the little clove kick it delivers at the end. Awesome heirloom.
