Basil Holy
Authentic South East Asian Strain!
Use for cooking or for making your own potpourri.
Description
A common form of basil in Southeast Asia, its ancestral home, but less known her in America, Holy Basil has a strong camphor scent. The leaves are less shiny that Italian and Greek types and have red to purple undertones. It is used not only in the kitchen, where in combination with cilantro and lemongrass it creates that unique aroma and flavor that is classicly Southeast Asian, but also in potpourri where its ample scent lingers to enchant. The plants are tall and vigorous, though no more frost hardy than other basils.
