Holy Red – Ocimum sanctum

Ocimum sanctum is a synonym of Ocimum tenuiflorum. This aromatic basil is an annual or short-lived perennial with an upright, branched habit. It is related to culinary basil but remains a distinct species. Moisture with drainage suits it better than waterlogged conditions, while the named colour selections distinguish the offered catalogue entries. Holy Red is the catalogue designation for this seed entry.
