Basil Red Rubin Seed Tape

Red Rubin is such an improvement over previous Basils that it might as well be a new species! Not only is it gorgeous, with deep burgundy leaves so richly colored they almost look blue, but it's wonderfully fragrant, bushier, and lasts better than others! Add to that its super-easy germination and growth in these revolutionary new seed tapes, and you've got an unbeatable crop so easy you won't be able to believe you grew it yourself!

With this new seed tape, you literally lay it down on top of the soil where you want the plants to grow, cutting it to fit the space and arranging it in any pattern you like. Then rake or sprinkle about a half inch of soil on top of the tapes and water them in well. That's it -- in a few weeks you'll see evenly-spaced, healthy green shoots that need no thinning! The two 7½-foot-long strips of seed tape in this package give you a planting that looks like it was designed and grown by a professional -- in less time that it would take you to make all the holes in the soil, let alone drop the seeds in, cover them up, and then thin the seedlings a few weeks later!

Basil Red Rubin is so ornamental that it's a shame to limit it to the vegetable garden. Use it as an edging, where its wonderful aroma will be released every time it's brushed against, or dot it among your sun-loving annuals and perennials! With these seed tapes, you can create beautiful designs, straight rows, and other nice effects that would normally take measuring, thinning, transplanting, and more!
