Hello there! I'm Purple Basil, the vibrant cousin of traditional green basil, bringing a splash of royal purple to your herb garden. Not only do I look stunning in your garden and on your plate, but I also pack a punch of flavor with slightly spicier and more intense notes compared to my green counterpart. Perfect for pestos, salads, or even as a striking garnish, I'm a showstopper in both looks and taste. Fun fact: My purple hue comes from anthocyanins, powerful antioxidants that are also found in blueberries and red cabbage. Give me sun, well-drained soil, and a little love, and I'll be your kitchen's crown jewel!
Plant me in well-drained, nutrient-rich soil in a sunny spot with at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily. Water regularly, keeping the soil evenly moist but not soggy. Pinch off flower buds to encourage bushier growth and prolong leaf production. Harvest leaves regularly, starting from the top, to keep me productive and flavorful. I'm happiest in warm weather, so protect me from cold snaps and frost. With proper care, I'll reward you with a continuous harvest of fragrant, flavorful leaves.
