Basil Thai Queen Siam

'Siam Queen' is a standout culinary and ornamental basil prized for its intense fragrance and bushy habit. Unlike common sweet basil, this improved Thai variety features sturdy purple stems and large, vibrant green leaves that carry a bold, spicy flavour profile with distinct notes of anise, licorices, and clove. Because it holds its texture and aroma well under high heat, it is the premier choice for authentic Southeast Asian cuisine, including green curries, spicy stir-fries, and noodle soups. Its late-blooming, deep violet flower clusters also make it a stunning, aromatic addition to patio containers and flower borders.
