Basil Rosso

Ocimum basilicum

Basil with large red-purple leaves. The leaves are not only decorative but also very aromatic and are suitable for use in cold and warm dishes, just like regular basil

We can sow basil throughout the year in pots or crates and keep them indoors. We plant or sow it outside when the danger for saline has passed. Basil likes warm and sunny places, except when they are young - the sun can burn them. Basil doen't need watering, except if there is drought. If the plant is in pots we water it moderately - the soil has to be damp, not wet. The plants are stronger when they grow individually.
