With a definite touch of anise flavour, this variety is great with Italian or Thai cuisine. The stems are pinkish, and the leaves are a bright, fresh-green. The flavour is quite strong, so use it sparingly and remember to dry some for the off-season to save you having to buy it. Try sprinkling some basil flowers into salads. They look and taste great!

Growing Information
How to Sow
Basil is amongst the easiest of plants to grow from seed. Almost every seed will germinate if treated well, so sow thinly. Just cover to a maximum of 5mm and keep constantly moist until they germinate. Then reduce watering a little. Protect from frost.
How to Harvest
The more you harvest your basil, the more it produces! Pinch out tips or trim them with scissors. Two young leaves and a tip bud will have the best aroma and flavour. Your plant will replace each tip with a pair of tips, so your harvest keeps growing! Pinch out flowers to prolong your harvest.
