   Holy Basil/ Sacred Basil/ Tulsi  |       Ocimum sanctum             LABIATAE

 

Full FlowerWhile it's impossible not to love all of the Basil family, Tulsi has to be our personal favourite.

 

Quick to strike and easy to grow, Tulsi is listed as an annual but, with constant use and pruning, it will last much longer.

 

It has a woody stem, allowing it to stand for much longer than many of it's cousins.

 

Wonderful as a culinary herb, Tulsi does deter mosquitoes, settle the stomach and refresh the mind.

It can be distinguished from the other Basil's by

the dusty purple lustre on the leaves and the deep magenta leaf veins as the plant matures.
