Mixed Basil Seeds
All of our basil varieties grow together in a beautiful show of color and scent. Every year, one bed is planted that contains every basil variety we carry. The array of colors, fragrances, flavors, flowers, growth habits and appearance is nothing short of spectacular!
Our Mixed Basil Seed variety pack comes from the seed of this mixed bed. Contained in the mix is seed from all of our basils plus anything that may have cross-pollinated (so you may get NEW varieties!)
Enjoy the surprise and joy these seeds are sure to bring!
