HR1021A - Purple Ruffles
Purple Ruffles basil seeds are an All America Selections Winner. This is an improved purple leaf basil chosen for its deep ruffles and decorative serrated leaf margins. It really stands out in salads! Purple Ruffles has a slight clove scent that makes a pungent and colourful herbal vinegar. The taste and stunning purple colour make up for the occasional green plant. Grow it in containers and harvest its edible flowers that appear in mid summer. Use these to garnish punch or gazpacho, and use the rich purple leaves to provide elegant contrast whenever you use green pesto. Always be sure to provide ample drainage to your basil plants, whether it's in the garden or in containers.

How To Grow
Planting basil from seed is truly enjoyable. Seeds germinate slowly, a bit faster when heated from below, and basil enjoys hot weather and full sun. Be sure to try Thai basil, holy basil, and red rubin basil — each variety has its own characteristics. Follow along with this handy How to Grow Basil from Seed Guide and grow some flavour.!
