An All-America Selections (AAS) Regional award winner in 2015 where it was recognized for its superior qualities in both flavor and garden performance. Persian AAS is an anise basil that is characterized by its silvery green leaves and spicy, licorice-like scent, due to the presence of anethole, the same chemical compound found in anise. It forms a tidy, upright habit that makes it well suited for container gardens, patio pots, or as an attractive addition to landscaping. Basil can also be grown for delicious microgreens. ~19,000 seeds/oz.
