Red Basil is a striking variety of basil distinguished by its deep burgundy to purple-red leaves and spicy-sweet aroma. It grows as a compact annual herb with glossy foliage and small pink to purple flowers that appear in mid to late summer. The flavor is similar to sweet basil but slightly more intense, with notes of clove and anise. Red basil adds both color and taste to salads, pastas, vinegars, and garnishes, and its vibrant leaves are often used decoratively in culinary presentations.
Varieties: Red Rubin, Dark Opal, and Purple Ruffles.

Lovage
Lovage is a tall, hardy perennial herb with glossy, dark green, celery-like leaves and thick, hollow stems. It can grow up to 6 feet tall and produces clusters of small yellow-green flowers in late spring to early summer, followed by aromatic seeds. All parts of the plant—leaves, stems, seeds, and roots—are edible and have a strong, savory flavor reminiscent of celery with a hint of parsley and anise. Lovage is used to season soups, stews, salads, and broths, and its seeds are often used as a spice similar to celery seed.
Varieties: Levisticum officinale (Common Lovage)
