Simply Herb Basil Trio (Ocimum basilicum)

Simply Herb Basil Trio (Ocimum basilicum) is a versatile live herb planter featuring three complementary basil varieties growing together in one convenient container. Offering a beautiful combination of leaf colours, textures, and flavours, this trio allows home cooks and gardeners to enjoy a wider range of culinary possibilities while growing fresh herbs right outside the kitchen door. Whether used in patio planters, raised beds, vegetable gardens, or sunny windows, this basil collection provides continuous harvests throughout the growing season.

Each basil variety contributes its own unique flavour profile, making the planter ideal for pesto, salads, pasta dishes, pizzas, sandwiches, soups, infused oils, and fresh garnishes. Regular harvesting encourages fuller, bushier growth and ensures a steady supply of fresh leaves throughout the summer. The fragrant foliage also attracts beneficial pollinators when allowed to flower, although flower buds are typically removed to maximize leaf production.

Simply Herb Basil Trio performs exceptionally well in containers, making it an excellent choice for patios, balconies, decks, and small-space gardens. It also combines beautifully with tomatoes, peppers, and other edible plants in vegetable gardens.

In Alberta, Simply Herb Basil Trio is grown as an annual and thrives in warm, sunny conditions from late spring until the first autumn frost.
