THAI BASIL – AROMATIC & ORNAMENTAL (CERTIFIED ORGANIC)

An essential herb in Southeast Asian cuisine, with a spicy-sweet fragrance reminiscent of cinnamon and anise. Beautiful, productive, and perfect for warm gardens.

Description

Thai Basil is an aromatic basil, a must-have in Thai, Vietnamese, and Laotian cuisines. Its dark green leaves with purple highlights release a unique, slightly spicy and sweet fragrance. Compact and ornamental, it produces magnificent pink-purple flower spikes all summer long, attracting pollinators.

Ideal in pots, garden beds, or herb gardens, it thrives in warm, sunny locations. A versatile herb for curries, soups, fresh rolls, stir-fries, and teas.

Where to grow Thai Basil

Grown as an annual in zones 3 to 9, it prefers full sun and rich, warm, well-drained soil. Perfect for raised beds, containers, and sheltered gardens.

History & Traditional Uses

Used for centuries in Southeast Asia, Thai basil is a key ingredient in curries, pho soups, fresh rolls, and infusions. Its distinctive flavor and ornamental habit make it a prized herb both in the kitchen and the garden.
