Full description

Red Rubin Basil is a striking, deep purple basil variety prized for both its ornamental beauty and culinary value. Its richly colored, aromatic leaves add bold contrast to gardens, containers, and edible landscapes. The flavor is classic sweet basil with a slightly spicy, clove-like undertone, making it excellent for fresh use, pesto, vinegars, salads, and garnishes.

Beyond the kitchen, Red Rubin Basil has a long history of traditional medicinal use, valued for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and digestive-supporting properties. The plant produces small pink to lavender flowers that are highly attractive to pollinators if allowed to bloom. Regular harvesting encourages lush, bushy growth throughout the season.

Full Growing information from seed:

  • Sow seeds indoors or directly outdoors after risk of frost has passed
  • Surface sow or lightly cover seeds; basil requires light to germinate
  • Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged
  • Germination typically occurs in 5–10 days
  • Thin seedlings to allow good air circulation and healthy growth
  • Prefers rich, well-draining soil with organic matter
  • Water regularly; avoid letting soil fully dry out
  • Pinch growing tips frequently to promote bushy plants
  • Remove flower buds to prolong leaf production
  • Can be grown in garden beds or containers
  • Harvest leaves regularly once plants are established
