Basil - Basilic

L'herbe Royale comes in an array of distinct colours and aroma profiles arising from volatile aromatic compounds uniquely expressed in each cultivar of Ocimum Basilicum. Basil is easy to grow provided adequate moisture, sun and warmth; temperatures above 15°C. Use the 40 plus known varieties of basil to add colour to your landscape, flavour savoury Italian dishes and Thai soups, garnish fruit salads and drinks and make pesto. Some variations add another dimension to floral arrangements and have therapeutic properties. Incorporate scented tactile interest in your garden with delightfully fragrant basil leaves and purple nuanced flowers. Basil is very productive with the regular harvest of shoots.
