Ocimum Gratissimum (Perennial Basil) is a productive evergreen herb shrub known for its aromatic edible foliage and vigorous growth habit. It is ideal for herb gardens, edible landscapes, containers, and sensory plantings where year-round flavour and fragrance are desired. Its lush green foliage and pollinator-attracting flowers provide both culinary and ornamental value.

Perennial Basil thrives in full sun to part shade and prefers rich, well-drained soil with regular watering during active growth. It responds well to pruning, producing dense fresh foliage suitable for cooking and herbal use throughout the warmer months. Hardy in warm climates and easy to maintain, it is an excellent long-term addition to productive gardens.
