Herb - Basil (Thai)

Highly aromatic herb featuring sturdy purple stems and pointed, deep green leaves with a distinct licorice-like scent. Known for its spicy, anise-forward flavor that remains stable under high cooking temperatures, it is a foundational ingredient for authentic red and green curries, stir-fries, and noodle soups. This heat-loving variety thrives in the sun and benefits from frequent pinching of the tips to encourage a bushy, prolific growth habit. Produces beautiful, edible purple flower spikes if left to mature.
