Some herbs are direct sown, while others benefit from a protected start or species-specific pretreatment, so retain the packet for reference. Keep seed media from drying during establishment without leaving it saturated. Once plants are growing, harvest modestly so foliage remains for continued development. Assign perennial herbs a long-term location, and consider containers for species with a spreading habit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePurple Opal's striking red-purple leaves and stems add color to food as either a garnish or a seasoning, and colors vinegar red.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDark purple basil's leaves have a sweet, anise-like flavor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe beautiful foliage and lavender flowers of this plant also make a wonderful addition to the ornamental garden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore sowing Dark Purple Opal Basil, review the packet alongside the current product details and note any range in temperature, germination, or maturity.
