Red Basil

Red Rubin basil (Ocimum basilicum “Purpurascens”) is an enhanced selection derived from the Dark Opal basil line. Like many popular culinary basils, it is a cultivated form of Ocimum basilicum (sweet basil). This variety is known for its striking reddish‑purple foliage and its more pronounced flavor compared to traditional sweet basil. Its vivid color and bold taste make it especially attractive for use in salads, fresh dishes, and decorative garnishes.
