Thai basil has a sweet anise, licorice-like flavor, with a hint of that familiar basil spiciness. It has small, narrow, leaves similar to lemon basil, with purple colored stems and flowers. Just like other basils, contains high levels of Vitamin K, and moderate levels of beta carotene, vitamin C, calcium, folate, iron, magnesium, manganese, copper, and omega-3 fatty acids. Makes an aromatic garnish for soups, sandwiches, salads, and is so delicious added to stir fries...or even used to make thai basil pesto!

“My live plants were packed like they belonged in Ft Knox. 😂 They really were packed beautifully. Only one plant, a bee balm, is questionable but signs that it will recover are happening. All in all I am thrilled with my plants and seeds. Some of my coreopsis have already sprouted!”

“I’ve ordered seeds from Whitwam Organics 3 or 4 times now. I love the simple packaging, clear planting guidelines, and variety they offer. Great germination rates!! The bare root plants I’ve ordered have come healthy, so healthy that the wild rabbits always approve of my menu upgrades! 😂🐰”
