Basil- Dark Opal (2026 plant starts- PREORDER)

Kick off your garden with plant starts from Chicken Little Farm. All plant starts will be timed to be ready for May Long weekend (May 16, 2026), typically in 4-inch nursery pots. Preordering will help me know how many of each variety to start, ensure that the plants you want are available, and provide a 10% discount for each plant. Pickup will be in Treherne, either on one of 2-3 set days in May or as arranged individually.

"Distinctive deep purple leaves and pink flowers look stunning in flower beds and pots. The fragrant leaves have a delicious licorice flavor.  Use it in flavored vinegar, as a garnish, or in fresh salads. A must-have for any herb garden."
