Basil Ruby Red
Botanical Name: Ocimum basilicum
Ruby Red's deep red foliage will add colour to salads, pasta and pizza, it has a mild aniseed-clove flavour. Visually stunning in the herb garden, but equally suitable for growing in pots on the windowsill.
How To Grow | For direct sowing into the garden bed, sow in drills and thin to 12in (30cm) apart. Basil thrives in a rich, well drained soil and a warm, sheltered position. For potted or indoor growing, sow 0.25in (0.5cm) deep, preferably in separate peat pots to avoid root disturbance. Plant out from late October, spacing 12in (30cm) apart. Sow all year round to grow in pots on the windowsill. |
