Dark Purple Opal Basil is a breathtaking variety with glossy, deep purple-burgundy leaves that add stunning color to both the garden and the kitchen. Its aroma is intensely sweet and slightly spicy — similar to Genovese basil but with added depth and complexity. The vivid purple leaves turn herb vinegar a beautiful jewel-pink and add dramatic color to salads, garnishes, and infused oils. One of the most ornamentally beautiful herbs you can grow.
