Made from a recycled wine bottle, every Hydro-Herb kit contains all you need to grow your chosen herb!

Watering the kits could not be simpler just keep an eye on the water line (clearly visible) and top up when needed, every couple of weeks. Each kit contains enough organic hydroponic fluid for you to be able to grow your herbs for approximately two years. The kits also come with spare parts, so that if your horticultural skills require a little honing there’s a second chance waiting.

About Crimson Basil

Crimson King is a Genovese-type basil reaching 18+ inches. This type of basil are the culinary aristocrats used in Italian cooking, ideally suited to those favourite pesto and tomato-basil recipes.

They are known for having crinkly turned-in leaves with a rich spicy clove scent.  The level of redness in their leaves is dependent to some extent on the temperature of the environment they grow in varying from a red tinge to almost full red leaves.

Freshly harvested leaves of Crimson King basil mixed with juicy tomatoes, olive oil and garlic, a true feast over hot pasta.
