"Siam Queen" basil is a uniform and attractive Thai Basil with a relatively strong clove-like flavour!
This variety adds great taste to soups and various dishes!
The medium green leaves grow up to 5cm long and have an intense licorice-basil aroma.
Deep red-purple flowers form in compact clusters, adding to this herb's decorative value.
Siam Queen does well in sun and shade, has average water needs and is great for growing in containers! Good bolt resistance.
Since English royalty preferred basil and used it for both culinary and cosmetic purposes, chefs sometimes call it "the king of herbs." In addition to being popular with the ruling class, basil was commonly used throughout England and loved for its scent; many people included it in their gardens, added it to their bouquets, and used it to freshen the air in their houses.
Medicinally, oil of basil is often used in treatments as diverse as depression and anxiety, the common cold, a cough or sore throat, or insect bites and stings. Medicinal doses of basil are unsafe for pregnant women, though culinary use is fine.
