Every kit contains all you need for your chosen herb. We use a recycled wine bottle to construct the body of the system; all edges are ground by hand, so there’s no need to worry about sharp corners left over from cutting the bottle. Watering the kits could not be simpler, just keep an eye on the water line (clearly visible) and top up when needed, every couple of weeks. Each kit contains enough organic hydroponic fluid for you to be able to grow your herbs for approximately two years. The kits also come with spare parts, so that if your horticultural skills require a little honing, there’s a second chance waiting.
About Dark Basil
Dark Basil is noted for its striking foliage and delicate liquorice scent, Ocimum basilicum 'Dark Opal' (Basil) is an annual or biennial herb with stunning deep purple, almost black leaves.
Dark Opal basil leaves have a fragrant aroma and mild taste best suited for flavouring both fresh and cooked preparations. The purple leaves can be lightly torn or crushed and tossed into green salads, used whole as an edible garnish on fruit and cheese platters, or roughly chopped and mixed into pasta and stir-fries.
