Basil ‘Purple Ball’

Basil Purple Ball is so ornamental, it can even be used as a foliage filler alongside brightly coloured bedding in a container or window box. A Greek-style variety, it bears small, highly flavoured, purple leaves which naturally grow into a dense ball. Wonderful for edging veg beds or as a decorative addition to the kitchen window sill, this clove-flavored culinary herb is indispensable for tomato-based dishes.
