Basil, Ararat
Ocimum basilicum
The leaves of this new basil have a unique bicolor appearance; purple and green mingled together. It still has the classic Basil flavor, use in salads, herbal vinegars and as a garnish. The foliage makes an interesting and beautiful filler for bouquets and the plant itself makes a dramatic focal point and contrasting plant in the garden.
