hi i purchased holy basil seeds online from two different shops. seeds from both shops were jet black in color. I sowed some holy basil from both types and they were totally same. Yesterday I was looking on internet pictures of some ordinary basil pictures and one of them was exactly like one at my home. So I am confused whether the one I have is Holy basil or not. How do I make sure? If I send you some close up pictures of the plant at my home, would you be able to help me? Many thanks Preeti
Hello nitgrg, I think the different types of basil look rather similar. Here is a webpage that allows some comparison: http://www.uni-graz.at/~katzer/engl/Ocim_bas.html One indicator of the difference will be the aroma/flavour. You can post images on the forums, so if you want to post photos of your plants here, someone may be able to verify your plants identification. How to Post Attachments Welcome to the Forums,
