📋 Product Description

Dark opal basil (Ocimum basilicum) is a stunning culinary heirloom award-winner celebrated for its rich, deep purple-to-nearly-black foliage and intense, spicy aroma. The glossy, pointed leaves have a smooth texture and a complex, clove-and-anise flavor profile, making this variety just as valuable in a gourmet kitchen as it is in a decorative landscape bed. In mid-to-late summer, it produces small, contrasting pale pink or lavender blossoms along dark spikes that are highly attractive to bees and beneficial insects. Cultivated in full sun to bring out its deepest, most saturated pigmentation, it provides a dramatic, moody contrast to standard green herbs and makes a beautiful, fragrant addition to fresh bouquets, salads, and specialty vinegars.
