Sweet Basil Red Rubin (Ocimum basilicum) is a bushy annual distinguished from common green basil by its firm, deep purple leaves. It retains the traditional basil fragrance and reaches a height of 30 to 40 cm.

Key features of Red Rubin

Purple leaves add distinct color to salads that green varieties cannot provide.
Sturdy leaf texture reduces tearing and damage during harvesting.
Traditional basil aroma remains fully preserved in this ornamental variety.
Bushy growth up to 30–40 cm keeps plants compact in pots and planters.
Performs well in pots and beds, requiring only a sunny position and fertile, humus-rich soil.

Who it is for
