Description

A sacred and dramatic relative of the traditional Green Tulsi, Ocimum tenuiflorum ‘Red Leaf Holy Basil’ carries the same revered spiritual and medicinal legacy, cloaked in deep purple-red foliage that glows beneath the sun. Its scent is warm and clove-like, layered with notes of fruit, spice, and a gentle earthiness that calms the senses and fills the air with devotion.

Plants reach 18–24 inches tall, branching freely with vibrant stems and purple blooms that attract bees and butterflies. The leaves deepen in color as the season progresses, creating an ornamental centerpiece in herb gardens and temple spaces alike. Harvested fresh or dried, they infuse elixirs, teas, and spiritual offerings with a grounding, aromatic sweetness.

Beloved across India and Southeast Asia as both a sacred plant and a source of daily healing, Red Leaf Holy Basil embodies balance and resilience—an ancient herb whose beauty and spirit endure in every leaf, blending the divine with the earthly.
