Purple basil is similar to its green cousin, with its distinctive notes of clove but slightly less sweetness. Best used fresh and uncooked in salads, pesto or to top pizza or pasta. This way it will keep its vibrant purple colour. Keep your pot in a sunny spot and harvest regularly to encourage new growth.

Ingredients & allergens

Storage & prep

Open straight away and water well. Grow on somewhere warm and sunny. Your plant will arrive in a biodegradable wood-pulp pot, you can keep it inside this pot for a little while but it will start to break down once you've watered it a few times. You can either pot it on inside the pot, give it a good soak first and it will slowly break down allowing the roots to grow outwards. Or you can tip it out of the pot to pot it on and compost or reuse the wood-pulp pot. Basil is an annual plant and is not frost hardy.
