Common Name: Red Rubin Basil
Latin Name: Ocimum basilicum 'Red Rubin'
Brief Description: Red Rubin Basil stands out with its striking dark purple leaves and robust, spicy flavor, making it a visually appealing and tasty addition to any garden. This cultivar is perfect for adding a splash of colour to salads and culinary dishes, while also serving as an ornamental delight in flower beds and pots.
How to Plant: Select a location that receives full sun and has well-draining soil. Plant your Red Rubin Basil at the same depth it was growing in its pot, spacing plants about 12 inches apart. This variety is also well-suited for container gardening.
General Plant Care: Maintain consistent moisture in the soil and provide regular feedings with an organic fertilizer to encourage vibrant foliage. Pinch off flower buds to promote bushier growth and more foliage production.
Lighting Requirements: Requires full sun, ideally 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily, to develop the richest leaf colour and flavour.
Water Requirements: Water the plants regularly to keep the soil evenly moist, especially during hot, dry periods.
Organic Feeding Suggestions: Use a balanced organic fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season to enhance growth and leaf colour.
Tips, Hints or Tricks for a Successful Plant: Harvest leaves periodically to encourage new growth. The leaves are most flavourful when harvested just before the plant flowers.
Recipe or Use Suggestions: Red Rubin Basil's deep, peppery flavor makes it excellent for adding depth to tomato dishes, pastas, and pizzas. It also makes a visually stunning garnish on dishes where basil is called for, and its unique colour can create a vibrant pesto.
