Thompson & Morgan Herb Basil Sally.
• A super-sized basil with purple leaves!
• Makes a lovely ornamental variety for the ‘Potager’, herb garden or summer containers.
• A large ‘lettuce-leaved’ variety sporting softly crinkled leaves flushed with dark purple it looks great combined with hot-coloured annuals such as Calendula.
• Add the big leaves of ‘Sally’ to sliced tomatoes and sprinkle with the calendula petals to create a tasty and colourful summer salad.
• The leaves have the same soft texture and intense, clove-like flavour as their smaller cousins but their large size makes them perfect for wrapping meat, fish or veg before barbecuing or roasting.
• Height: 45cm (18").
• Spread: 30cm (12").
