Plant of the Day

Thursday 31 August 2017

Here an old pallet proves to be an excellent plant container for a range of edibles including Ocimum basilicum 'Crimson King' (purple basil). This variety was bred for its uniform leaves and vigour. This is a half-hardy plant that needs to be grown from seed sown in a protected warm, light environment in spring with young plants moved outside in summer. The leaves need to be harvested regularly and the flowers removed to concentrate the plant's energy on leaf production. The Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Hyde Hall, Essex, UK, not only had purple basil in pallet containers on the safety fencing around the construction site for their new restaurant but also in the new productive World Garden.

This is a purple opal basil seedling. You can see a little of the purple already starting to develop in the center of the seed leaves. Can’t wait to see what the true leaves look like!
