Intense dark purple-red color with mild and aromatic basil flavor - a favorite in our trials!

An improved strain of Rubin with very uniform germination and stand, no green off-types and stronger, more upright stems. Tall lavender flower spikes are lovely in bouquets and should be pinched for better leaf production. Approx. 20,000 seeds/oz.
