£1.24
Unit price perEstimated Delivery between November 09 and November 11.
Ocimum basilicum 'Red Rubin' is a striking purple-leaved basil combining excellent culinary flavour with outstanding ornamental colour. It produces broad, smooth leaves in rich shades of deep burgundy, purple-red and dark purple, held on contrasting purple stems. The aromatic foliage has a warm, spicy basil flavour and makes a colourful alternative to traditional green sweet basil.
Growing into an upright, bushy plant approximately 45–60 cm tall, Red Rubin is equally attractive in herb gardens, vegetable plots and patio containers. Its colourful leaves are excellent for salads, pasta dishes, garnishes, flavoured oils and vinegars, while regular harvesting encourages fresh, tender growth throughout summer.
