Variety description

10 August 2026

The plant reaches a height of 35–50 cm and is characterized by abundant foliage. The variety has an ornamental appearance due to the intense leaf coloration. Taste qualities are rated as milder and sweeter compared to traditional green basil varieties.

The variety is intended for fresh and dried consumption, as well as a spicy additive. The crop is not cold-hardy, and in the seedling phase may show sensitivity to root rots and blackleg. The name is often used to refer to a group of purple basil forms.
