Basil 'Sasklavi' is an incredibly fragrant basil with pale pink flowers. This Georgian basil has a floral fragrance and flavor. It keeps its flavor when dried unlike many other basils.
 
I enjoyed munching on Sasklavi whenever I passed it in the garden, but I am honestly not quite sure how to cook with it. I have read that it is used in a Georgian spice blend called khmeli suneli which I look forward to making with my dried basil.
 
Height 20 inches. Spacing 10 inches.
