Basil |
Ocimum spp. Native of Africa, and across tropical SE Asia to India. A complex of closely related and sometimes interbreeding species with an evolving taxonomy. Our O. sanctum has been reclassified as O. canum which explains its excellent adaptation to temperate climates as compared to tropical tulsi (O. tenuiflorum.) Oregon Tilth Certified Organic Seed

Classico NEW FOR 2023! We have finally found a great Italian sweet basil that will set and ripen seed in our climate. ‘Classico’ is one of many Genovese basil strains grown outside the Genoa region (and so, can’t be called Genovese), but this one stands out for flavor and aroma.?Leaves are waxy green and convex, like a turned spoon. These seemed to dry more fragrantly than other Genovese types we’ve grown recent... pricing and more

Lemon I love this basil if only for the smell of it as I brush by heading into the tomato patch. So refreshing! Also makes one of the finest fresh herbs to add brightness and surprise to summer salads. Two or three of the small leaves per serving is all it takes to make a salad spring to life. pricing and more

Mrihani When we introduced this unusual basil in 2017, I mistakenly attributed its origins to SE Asia. I'd like to apologize to Richo Cech of Horizon Herbs/Strictly Medicinals for getting this so wrong! Richo actually found this basil growing on the north end of Pemba Island in the Zanzibar Archipelago, off the coast of Tanzania, in 1990. He found the woman who was growing the crop, and she asked him to r... pricing and more

Mrihani x Opal F4 Population When we first grew 'Mrihani' basil three years ago the toothy savoyed leaves reminded me of 'Ruffles' basil. I wondered if I might recreate 'Purple Ruffles' by crossing 'Mrihani' with Opal basil. Sure enough, the F1 cross looked like a giant version of 'Purple Ruffles' with an extraordinary aroma completely unlike Ruffles. In 2017 the F2 gen... pricing and more

Opalescent This is an F5 selection from Mrihani x Opal that looks very much like the original F1 cross. Very darkest purple with large-toothed savoyed leaves, reminiscent in appearance to the AAS winner from the 80s "Purple Ruffles." But the fragrance and taste are completely distinct from sweet basil, and the fruity sweetness and cherry-magenta color ... pricing and more

Sacred Basil Distinctly fragrant tulsi basil that we have long used as a salad enhancer. The whole leaves are crisp and clove flavored, very cooling in summer salad. The immature bite-sized buds and their subtending pair of leaves are a beautiful topping for salad or desserts. Excellent pollen and nectar source for bees. We’ve grown this old Abundant Life Seed strain since 1983 under the assumption that it o... pricing and more

Zanzico NEW FOR 2023! ‘Zanzico’ comes from a cross of 'Opalescent X Classico', a 4th generation family with large thick leaves up to 2 x 4” in size, convexly rounded, slightly savoyed with broadly toothed margins, somewhat bronzed in color, with light lilac flowers. The East African flavors of ‘Mrihani’ (the seed parent of ‘Opalescent,’ from Zanzibar) meld with sweet Italian ‘Classico’ in this large f... pricing and more
