HEIRLOOM We can’t imagine summer without the exquisite flavor of Thai basil. Versatile and delicious, Thai basil is easy to grow in both gardens and containers. We love how her deep purple square stems contrast brilliantly with forest green leaves and spires of lavender flowers, so we harvest Thai basil for bouquets as much as we do for supper! Just like basil and so many herbs, pluck your Thai basil’s flowers as soon as you see them emerge to encourage more leaf production and prolong her rich, exquisite flavor.
