Plant Needs
Red Rubin Organic Basil produces flat, 3-inch leaves in deep purple tones with matching purple flowers. The dramatic foliage makes it both a flavorful kitchen herb and an ornamental addition to garden beds and patio containers.
Plants grow 18–24 inches tall and offer high yields of aromatic leaves with a strong, traditional basil flavor. Harvest regularly to encourage new growth and delay flowering.
Both the leaves and flowers are edible and can be used to garnish drinks, salads, soups, pasta, and desserts.
