Magical Michael Basil Seeds

Magical Michael basil is an improved Sweet Dani type basil with shorter branched leaves and compact habit. This highly aromatic, compact, ornamental basil is known for its lush green, white and purple leaves and unique bunches of white flowers on deep purple bracts.

This All American Winner is very fragrant compared to other ornamental basil, but is lower in oils than culinary basil. The young leaves are great for cooking and the pretty plants are used by top landscapers for unique presentation. The small flowers are attractive for use as a garnish, adding color to any salad since the calices are purple and corollas white. The unique look and aroma of this basil also makes it highly attractive to bees.

Magical Michael Basil makes a great container plant and is a favorite because it can be harvested in only 30 days!

Fusarium tolerant.

As with all basils, you can also use this basil in the garden as a natural insecticide to repel aphids, mites, and tomato horn worms.
