    Product Details

    Purple Basil is Italian Basil's more dramatic sibling - deep, glossy purple leaves with an equally rich, slightly spicier flavour and stunning visual presence in any garden or kitchen.

    • Deep purple leaves with a rich, slightly spicier flavour than regular green basil.
    • Rich in vitamins A, C, and K and packed with powerful antioxidants.
    • Stunning in pesto, pasta, salads, and as a visual garnish.
    • Grow it organically in Ugaoo's Organic Veggie Mix, chemical-free herb all season long.
    Sowing
    • Sow seeds 0.5 cm deep in a seedling tray. We recommend Ugaoo's Organic Veggie Mix for better results.
    • Best time to sow: February to May, when the weather is warm.
    • During this time, keep it in a warm spot and maintain good humidity. Cover the lid, soil or top if needed.
    Germination
    • Seeds sprout in 7–14 days.
    • Keep soil moist during this period.
    • Once sprouts appear, move to a bright spot with direct morning sun.
    Transplanting
    • Seedlings are ready to transplant once they have 3–4 true leaves, usually after 15–20 days.
    • We suggest transplanting into a pot (at least 20 cm deep) with Ugaoo's Organic Veggie Mix.
    • Transplant in the evening to reduce stress.
    • Water well after transplanting.
    Growing
    • Needs direct sun, at least 6 hours daily.
    • Water with a gentle spray when the topsoil feels dry. Let it dry slightly between waterings - basil dislikes soggy roots.
    • Use a pot with drainage holes.
    • Space plants 25–30 cm apart.
    • Feed with cow manure every 15 days. Use neem cake and neem oil spray to keep pests away.
    • Pinch flower buds as they appear - it keeps the plant bushy and the leaves coming.
    Aftercare & Post-Harvest
    • Pinch off any flower spikes as soon as they appear. Once the plant flowers, leaf quality drops.
    • Use leaves fresh for the best aroma - flavour fades after long cooking.
    • Purple Basil is an annual. Once it flowers extensively and declines, pull it and sow fresh the following February.
    Harvesting
    • Leaves are ready in 60–75 days.
    • Cut a stem just above a pair of leaves - the plant becomes bushier and more productive each time.
    • Harvest in the morning for the best aroma and flavour.
    • The more you harvest, the more the plant produces.

    100% perfect from Order to packing to Delivery . . .

    I ordered and received Purple Basil seeds. Packing was very good and no delay. But the seedlings/shoots that are coming out are green and not purple. This is the concern at the moment....

    Frequently asked questions

    What does Purple basil smell like?

    Purple basil has a bold, spicy aroma with hints of clove and a sweet, slightly peppery twist! It’s more intense than your usual green basil — think of it as basil’s fancy cousin who loves to make a statement. Perfect for jazzing up salads, pasta, or even your windowsill garden!

    What is the difference between Basil and Purple basil?

    Basil and Purple Basil are from the same family, but they have different vibes! While green basil is sweet and mild, Purple basil packs a punch with a spicier, clove-like aroma. Plus, its deep purple leaves make it a total showstopper in the garden — beauty and flavor in one plant!

    How to grow Purple basil from seed?

    To grow Purple basil seeds, sprinkle the seeds on moist soil, cover lightly, and keep the spot warm and sunny. Water gently and wait for sprouts in 7–14 days. Once they’re a few inches tall, thin them out and watch your mini purple jungle thrive! The best part? The plant smells amazing from day one!

    Does Purple basil need full sun?

    Yes, Purple basil is a diehard sun lover! To thrive, it needs to bask in the sunlight for at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight. The more sun it gets, the richer its color and the stronger its flavor. So, give it a sunny spot, and it’ll give you great looks and even better taste!
