Thai basil is a popular herb in Southeast Asian cuisine and is a flavorful garnish served with Vietnamese pho (a savory broth of noodles and meat).

It holds its flavor and texture better after cooking than other basil varieties and adds a kick to salads when sliced and eaten fresh.

Flavor is of intense, spicy basil with notes of clove and anise.
Sweet Thai's dark purple flowers and intoxicating scent make it a beautiful addition to the flower garden.

Gorgeous narrow green leaves with vivid dark purple stems and blossoms; adored by bees.

A terrific container variety.
Plants reach 12-18" tall.
