Basil "Queen of Sheba" seeds (Ocimum Basilicum)

A particularly robust variety which has successfully survived to temperatures of 3-5 degrees in our garden, this basil is also one of the varieties that can certainly be cultivated as a perennial. With its dark stems and graceful flowers, "queen of Sheba" is also a very decorative herb plant for our gadens. 

As with all basil varieties, this plant is also a good bee pasture. However, if you wish to significantly increase the leaf production, the plant should be regularly pruned and the flower buds removed. In terms of taste, this variety is very similar to Genovese basil but has a hint of anise. In the kitchen, we have used it for pesto and in salads (including the flowers).
