Basil Duo Mixture

A great option for adding variety to pots, windowsills or herb beds, this duo offers both colour and flavour. This mix contains two basil types – a traditional green-leaved basil with a sweet, mild flavour, and a deep red-leaved form with a more intense, spicy taste. Both are excellent for cooking and garnishing, bringing contrasting tones and an iconic aroma to dishes.

Grow in full sun in a warm, sheltered spot or under glass for best leaf production. Regular picking encourages bushier growth and stops the plants from flowering too soon. Basil 'Duo Mixture' thrives in fertile, free-draining soil or compost, and benefits from consistent watering.

Ideal for summer salads, pasta, pesto or as a fresh topping, it’s a favourite for home cooks and gardeners alike. Rich in vitamin K, antioxidants, calcium and magnesium, this herb brings nutritional value as well as bold flavour.
