Purple Ball Basil Seeds
(Ocimum basilicum)
50 Seeds Per Packet 

Purple Ball basil is a compact basil variety that forms neat, rounded plants with deep purple leaves and a pleasant basil fragrance. The small leaves grow densely on the plant, creating a tidy, ball-shaped mound about 8–12 inches tall and wide. In summer, the plants may produce small pink to lavender flowers that attract pollinators.

This basil is both ornamental and edible. The colorful foliage adds contrast to herb gardens, containers, and flower beds, and the leaves can be used fresh in cooking.
