Name: Cardinal Basil
Scientific Name: Ocimum Basilicum
Family: Lamiaceae
A true stunner in your herb and ornamental beds alike; cardinal basil will erupt with deep purple red flower bracts over a long season, giving the pollinators plenty to look forward to. A slower growing and more compact upright basil than most other Thai basils, cardinal basil will provide a long steady harvest of its large spicy sweet leaves perfect in Thai cooking but also quite lovely in certain Italian dishes and fresh in the summer cookout team. It has been remarkably disease resistant and cold tolerant and has quickly become the favorite basil we grow and we are very excited to be able to offer it to you to grow.
