- Ocimum basilicum

This variety, a cross between "Mrihani" and "Opal", produces extraordinary plants with large, deeply serrated, dark purple leaves and lavender-pink inflorescences. It reveals a rare fruity flavor.
Developed by Frank Morton, he says: "Similar in appearance to Purple Ruffles, its fragrance and taste are completely distinct from those of sweet basil. The fruity sweetness and cherry-magenta color it imparts to a vinegar is unlike any other herb I know."

Sow in trays at temperatures between 18 and 20°C, under a well-lit shelter, 6 weeks before planting. Transplant into individual cups when plants have 4 to 5 leaves, or plant directly into warmed soil, spaced 25 to 30 cm apart. Take care not to over-water to avoid the risk of wilting.
