Basil crimson king (More Options Available)

Basil ‘Crimson King’ is a striking ornamental and culinary basil variety with large, deep purple-red leaves and a rich, aromatic flavour. The compact, bushy plants produce colourful foliage throughout the growing season, adding contrast to herb gardens, containers, and borders. Leaves have a sweet basil taste with subtle spicy notes, making them ideal for salads, pesto, garnishes, and cooked dishes. In summer, spikes of pale pink to lavender flowers attract bees and other pollinators. ‘Crimson King’ thrives in full sun, warm conditions, and fertile, well-drained soil, and is valued for its decorative appearance and culinary versatility.
