About Deep Purple Basil

This certified organic Deep Purple Basil is a flavorful, eye-catching plant with rich purple leaves and classic sweet basil taste. Its upright growth makes harvesting easy, while the bold foliage adds contrast to herb gardens, containers, and edible landscapes.

In the kitchen, Deep Purple Basil can be used just like green basil — fresh in salads, pesto, sauces, and infused oils, with the added bonus of striking color for garnishes and plating. It’s a great choice for gardeners who want organic herbs that are both productive and decorative.

This open-pollinated basil is easy to grow in garden beds, raised beds, and pots, and performs reliably throughout the season.

How to Grow Deep Purple Basil Plants

Plant Deep Purple Basil in full sun and well-drained soil after the danger of frost has passed. Regular harvesting encourages fresh growth and keeps plants productive.

This variety offers intermediate resistance to Downy Mildew and Fusarium Wilt, helping support healthy organic basil plants through the growing season. A simple, rewarding herb that brings flavor, color, and versatility to the home garden.

Our USDA-Certified Organic herbs come potted in quality soil and ready to plant!

Survival Guaranteed!

Since 1816, Stark Bro’s has promised to provide customers with the very best fruit trees and plants. It’s just that simple. However, because annual plants are naturally short-lived and complete their life cycle in a single growing season, our standard one-year survival guarantee does not apply to annuals. If your annuals arrive damaged or fail to thrive within the first 14 days after delivery, please contact us immediately so we can make it right. For all other plants, our full one-year warranty still applies. Read more about our warranty policy.
