Ocimum basilicum
Tired of your regular green basil? Spice things up with this elegant dark red Basil Rosie. This variety has a gorgeous intense color and an even richer taste than green basil varieties, making it a good substitute.
Like with green basil varieties you should remove flowering parts of this plant and harvest regularly to ensure a nice uniform growth. With a very sturdy stem, this variety grows similarly to its green counterpart.
Time to first harvest in Herbert: 4-5 weeks
Traditional farming: 8-10 weeks
