Basil 'Amethyst Improved'

Ocimum basilicum

• Dark purple almost black version of ‘Genovese’ basil
• Flavour contains the hints of mint and clove
• Culinary and a wonderful floral arrangement filler

This culinary basil and floral arrangement filler is a dark purple almost black version of ‘Genovese’ basil. The leaf shape is the same and the flavour contains the hints of mint and clove, full and robust. With its dark leaves and small purple florets, it is as beautiful as a garnish as it is in bouquets and companion planted in the garden.

We love ‘Amethyst’ in raw summer salads, mixed with zucchini noodles, lemon zest and garlic and in mixed flower bouquets. It attracts beneficial insects and is a great companion herb.
