Barbados Pride
Caesalpinia pulcherrima
 While technically, not an herb, this beautiful shrub which will do well in Australia in all but the coldest and driest of our areas.
It has a strong reputation as a medicinal plant with active ingredients in the leaves, flowers, bark and roots.
We have not had the opportunity to test any of the claims as yet so we have nothing to report on it's usefulness.
10 fresh seeds $3.50
Basil

Ocimum basilicum
 Mostly a short lived perennial and not an annual, depending on how often you use it.
This variety simply has a scent as it's name suggests.
Does best in warmer climates.

Basil Lemon
Ocimum basilicum
 This variety is definitely an annual with green soft stems and a fantastic summer salad scent and flavour.
This variety simply has a scent as it's name suggests.

Basil
(Sacred)
Ocimum sanctum
 While it's impossible not to love all of the Basil family, this one has to be our personal favourite.
Quick to strike and easy to grow, it is listed as an annual but, with constant use and pruning, it will last much longer. It has a woody stem, allowing it to stand for much longer than many of it's cousins.
Wonderful as a culinary herb, it does deter mosquitoes, settle the stomach and refresh the mind.
