The leaves are a deep, glossy burgundy-purple that looks genuinely ornamental in the herb garden, in a container planting, or tucked into a mixed border for color contrast. The flavor is classic sweet basil with a slightly spicier edge, making it excellent in Italian cooking, pesto, Caprese salads, and anywhere you'd use green basil.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlants grow compact and bushy, reaching about 18 to 24 inches, and produce soft lavender-pink flower spikes in summer that should be pinched off if you want to keep harvesting leaves. 'Purple Petra' needs the same conditions as any basil: full sun, warmth, consistent moisture, and good drainage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhether you're growing it purely for the kitchen or using it as a bold foliage accent in a summer planter, 'Purple Petra' delivers on both counts.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Langlois","offers":[{"title":"3.5\"","offer_id":44052339916888,"sku":"00112391","price":3.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/dragonflyfarmlanglois.com\/products\/ocimum-basilicum-purple-petra-basil","provider":"Dragonfly Farm \u0026 Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
