Basil ‘Purple Ruffles’ – Ocimum basilicum 💜🌿
(Ornamental & Culinary Basil)
Striking, fragrant, and full of flair, Purple Ruffles Basil is a standout variety loved for its deeply crinkled, ruffled leaves in rich purple-burgundy tones. As beautiful as it is edible, this basil adds dramatic colour to herb gardens, pots, and borders while delivering a slightly spicy, clove-like basil flavour that’s perfect for salads, garnishes, infused oils, and creative cooking.
Well suited to warm climates like FNQ, Purple Ruffles Basil grows quickly and thrives with regular harvesting. Its upright, bushy habit and ornamental appeal make it just as at home in flower beds as it is in the kitchen garden.
🪴 Planting tip: Prefers full sun to light shade and well-drained soil. Water regularly, allowing soil to dry slightly between watering. Pinch tips often to encourage bushy growth and maintain leaf colour.
🌸 Flowering: Produces soft pink-purple flower spikes if left unpruned, which are also attractive to pollinators.
📏 Mature size: Typically 30–40 cm tall and wide when mature.
🧡 Your plants: Fresh, healthy Purple Ruffles Basil seedlings in a 4-pack, beautifully coloured and ready to plant for both flavour and flair.
