      Doing great along with the other basils I purchased. This is slightly different from the dark opal with more green and slightly rounder leaves.

    2. Mary –

      100% of seeds sprouted, and now I have a ton of baby basil plants. Excited to have a pile of basil this summer.

    3. ArtsytheIsh –
