It’s a Mrihani x Opalescent basil hybrid, I have about two dozen of these started with a variety of mutations. Most of them have mottled green (as well shown by the plant to the left) and all of them have a beautiful metallic purple shimmer to them. This gorgeous seedling is a beautiful example of a whorled phylotaxy, having four leaves per node instead of two.
I’m going to try to see if I can get this mutation somewhat stable, as it’s double your basil per basil, and who wouldn’t want that?
Honestly I just moved to a new house and I have a decent ish growing space, a 16’x60’ (~5x18m) and 30’x35’ (9x9.5m) plot in my back yard and a 20’x25’ (6x7.5m) room in my basement I’m turning into a hydroponics and indoor farm setup. With the move I’ve changed growing zones a lot and am now on the border of Canada so I don’t know how the plants will react yet.
I was thinking a more Cave Johnson approach,but I’ll totally be the vault overseer doing agriculture experiments that decides the best way to get more harvest and save space is to double the plant per plant.
