Selected to be suitable for growing outdoors in UK conditions. British Basil has a very robust, bright green leaf. It is more tolerant of colder conditions than other basils but still retains a traditional intense flavour.
Rounder leaf than standard Rhubarb Chard with intense red veining. As with Elite this variety has far fewer green 'off-types' than the standard. Mainly grown for baby leaf production. Similar to Elite at baby leaf stage but as it matures Intense has a slightly lighter green leaf. Good upright habit and uniformity.
