- Product number: 333641
- Origin: Mediterranean region

A remarkably large-leaved variety, now also available in this purple-violet color! Italians highly appreciate this basil for its full, yet subtle flavor. The typical Mediterranean taste combines with a sparkling, peppery aroma. Due to its milder flavor, this variety is ideal for salads. Give the plants an extra warm spot. Cultivation in pots also works very well.
Basil loves warmth and high humidity. The leaves are widely used in the preparation of soups, sauces, fish dishes, herbs, vinegar, and pickles.
