Cardinal Basil from Last Fall

Decorative and delicious Cardinal Basil. Grown in a herb basket, Full sun, with rosemary and tarragon. Very pungent and flavourful. Good for sauces, soups, on pizza, or chopped and served with sliced tomatoes. This variety can be grown in borders and has a colorful deep purple bloom. Very forgiving in comparison to Sweet Basil, and will tolerate dryer conditions. Like when you forget to water it! Leaves are slow to dry but  when ready are crushed and stored in glass jar for use.We are keeping this plant growing inside for part of the winter!
