Overview

A really punchy flavour that livens up Mediterranean recipes – use the leaves sparingly in pasta sauces and scatter them over pizzas. This Sicilian native bears a show of attractive purple flowers in summer. 

Pick leaves before the plant flowers to enjoy the very best flavour. They can be stored for up to a week in a sealed bag in the fridge. Save dried leaves and stems in an airtight container.

    Good quality plants, well packaged for delivery. I have purchased from them before. There was a day's delay in the most recent delivery. It would be good to have messages giving despatch and delivery information.
