Red Velvet Leaf Basil is a delight for all of your senses. When you see the firm, smooth, deep burgundy leaves, you must touch them, which releases a divine anise fragrance that you have to nibble, and then you hear your own sigh of gratitude that this enchanting herb is growing in your garden, producing all summer long.

Harvest the leaves and stems from the top part of the plant, and pinch off edible flower buds as they appear, which prevents the leaves from turning bitter, and signals the plant to branch out and grow more leaves, making a bushier plant.

The more you harvest, the more it grows!

Rich basil flavor
Culinary, medicinal, and ornamental
Good for indoor gardens
Good for containers

Works as well with garlic and tomato as it does with honey and fruit, and makes a rich herbal tea. Dress up a Lollo Rossa Lettuce salad with the edible amethyst flowers.
