General Information
Description
This is the best basil I have ever had, and it was great in a mixed color bowl because of the variegated foliage. It sat on the deck with some petunias and lobelia and was lovely. We cooked with it almost every day, fantastic flavor and the color holds when it is cooked, compared to others I use that turn black.
