BASIL 'Mrihani' --Ocimum basilicum--

Traditional cultivar originally grown in Zanzibar - you've NEVER seen a basil like this! Leaves are green spotted with purple, ruffled, with a strong, unique basil smell and light anise and basil flavor. Dried leaves are used in native East Africa as an ingredient in curries, stir fries, and the coconut-based sauces, handmade perfumes (manukato), and often worn in a small cloth bag around the neck. Leaves stay tasty even while plant is seeding, making it excellent for late-season pesto or for adding to tomato sauce. 60 days.
