Basil Queen of Sheba

The Best for Bedding — As Floriferous as Salvia! Great for cooking, too, with a mild flavor. Gardeners have wondered when it was coming, and now that it’s here, our herb gardens will never be the same again! Queen of Sheba is the first Basil grown expressly for bedding, with fragrant, mild-flavored leaves topped by giant flowerspikes of dark purple all summer long! It’s the best of both worlds — a useful culinary herb, and also an ornamental bedding plant as long-blooming and easy to care for as Salvia!This Basil reaches about 10 to 12 inches high and 10 inches wide, topped for months on end by fat, flower-packed 4- to 5-inch stems. Very showy, they point straight up, filling the sunny garden with bright color that brings in butterflies and bees. Ideal for containers, as edging, in the annual flowerbed, and more!Queen of Sheba likes plenty of sun and very good soil drainage, and let it dry out a bit between waterings. Pick the leaves as you need them, and enjoy these lovely blooms all summer! Pkt is 100 seeds.
