Ruby Red basil is a striking red basil variety that looks as bold as it tastes, with deep red-purple leaves that offer big visual impact and a mild aniseed-clove flavour. Growing to around 30cm in height, it has a bushy, compact habit, making it perfect for smaller garden spaces or pots. Its delicate red leaves will stand out in any herb garden! Not just a pretty face, Ruby Red basil seeds are at home in a wide range of dishes once grown and harvested. Add it fresh to salads, pasta, or pizza for a splash of colour and an aromatic kick. Its unique flavour pairs wonderfully with tomato-based dishes and perfectly complements the taste of Mediterranean recipes, especially anything with garlic or onions.
