Ocimum basilicum Licorice Basil

Ocimum basilicum Licorice Basil is a striking, aromatic annual herb, valued for its distinctive purple stems, dark green foliage, and bold, spicy anise flavor. Growing to about 12 to 24 inches tall with a spread of 12 to 18 inches, this variety is perfect for culinary herb gardens, ornamental borders, and container plantings where both flavor and visual contrast are desired. Unlike the mild sweetness of Genovese basil, Licorice Basil offers a sharper, more intense profile similar to tarragon or fennel, filling the garden with a sweet, spicy scent that intensifies in the summer heat.

 

Culinary and Practical Uses

  • The sturdy, aromatic leaves are an essential component in Southeast Asian cuisine, providing the signature anise kick to Thai curries, Vietnamese pho, and stir-fries.
  • Excellent for infusing into syrups, cocktails, and herbal teas, where its natural sweetness and licorice notes add depth without the need for added sugar.
  • Traditionally used in herbal practices to settle the stomach, freshen breath, and as a natural insect repellent due to its strong essential oils.

     

Characteristics

  • Foliage: Narrow, dark green leaves with a purple flush and deep purple stems; possesses a strong, spicy licorice (anise) fragrance distinct from sweet basil.
  • Growth Habit: Upright, bushy, and vigorous; the sturdy stems make it less prone to flopping than other basil varieties and an excellent cut flower filler.
  • Flowers: Produces stunning, deep purple flower spikes (inflorescences) in late summer, which are highly ornamental and attract a multitude of pollinators.
  • Seeds: Harvested after the purple flower heads dry and turn brown; the small black seeds are easily collected and saved for the following season.

 

Growing Requirements

  • Sun: Thrives in full sun; requires at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight to maintain its purple coloration and concentrated flavor oils.
  • Soil: Adapts to most soil types but prefers rich, fertile, well-draining soil with a pH between 6.0 and 7.5; warm soil is essential for germination.
  • Water: Requires moderate watering; keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, as it is slightly more drought-tolerant than large-leaf sweet basils once established.
  • Spacing: Plant seeds or transplants 12 to 18 inches apart to allow for air circulation and accommodate its bushy growth.
  • Maintenance: Pinch off the growing tips frequently to encourage branching; while the flowers are beautiful, removing them prolongs the harvest window for culinary leaves.

Great product and value for the money
Pattern Name: Half Ears, Size: 4 Pound (Pack of 1)
Dog loves these. I only feed her natural food and treats. These are very healthy. She's a strong healthy 2 year old puppy. Will be buying again soon. It is a great product for the money. They are chewed up in minutes because she loves them. They do have a bit of an odor but it's not overbearing.

A great natural treat option, my dog approves
Pattern Name: Full Ears, Size: 8 Count, Pattern Name: Full Ears, Size: 8 Count
Ingredients: Natural pig ears 👍, they smell smoky (my dog loves it, I don’t mind it), most of the time they are a decent size. My dog is half American bully and a heavy chewer so these are a great option for him. The quality is always good, and the bags I get are always fresh. These are a good treat for him when I have to sneak out for a bit or when I am leaving for work in the morning. I have purchased these several times. I also appreciate the eco friendly bag :)

Great Natural Chew Dogs Love, but Can Be a Bit Messy
Pattern Name: Half Ears, Size: 25 Count (Pack of 1)
These pig ears are a big hit with dogs and keep them busy for a good while. They’re made from a single ingredient, which is a nice plus if you’re looking for something more natural. They help with chewing and can support dental health by reducing plaque while your dog works on them. That said, they can be a little greasy and have a smell, which is pretty normal for pig ears. Also, they may not last as long for heavy chewers. Overall, a tasty and natural treat most dogs will love, just expect a little mess.
