plant thai basil seeds Krapao Red (Thai Holy Basil)Intensely aromatic, slightly spicy holy basil used in Thai cooking, traditionally in dishes such as Pad Krapao. This branching, geometric and narrow leaved holy basil makes a low bush, reaching about 20" in height in our experience. Its distinct, clove like aroma perfumed the air whenever we'd brush past it in the field. Sports handsome, deep fuschia to dark red stems and flower stalks, covered in tiny pink blooms and abundant green foliage. Thrives

Intensely aromatic, slightly spicy holy basil used in Thai cooking, traditionally in dishes such as Pad Krapao. This branching, geometric and narrow-leaved holy basil makes a low bush, reaching about 20" in height in our experience. Its distinct, clove-like aroma perfumed the air whenever we'd brush past it in the field. Sports handsome, deep fuschia to dark red stems and flower stalks, covered in tiny pink blooms and abundant green foliage. Thrives in heat and prefers full sun.

This seed came to us through our friend and previous apprentice Heidi Ratanavanich, who has this to share about their ancestral herb:

"When I eat Pad Krapao, minced pork stir fry with Krapao, topped with a fried egg and a side of Nam Prik Pla (fish sauce, lime juice, garlic), I feel Thailand. For a long time, I thought Krapao was the same as Thai Basil (Horappaa), which has a different flavor from a totally different plant. On a trip to my mom's hometown in Thailand, Sappaya, my aunt pointed out Krapao growing on a path. This was the moment where I first learned this Krapao, in hand in Thailand. She helped me harvest the 2 varieties, red and white. I am so lucky and happy to be tending to Krapao this season at Truelove."

Days to maturity: 60

Seeds per pack: 100

Germination rate: 91% on 05/05/2026

Planting / harvesting notes

Sow seeds on the surface of moist potting soil, do not cover. Keep it evenly moist and in the sunlight until germination. Start indoors, and later transplant in full sun 10-12" apart.

Seed keeping notes

Allow seedheads to dry and turn brown on the plant. Cut the stalks below the lowest seed clusters. If necessary, dry the seedheads further in the sun on a sheet or table away from moisture and precipitation. When fully dry, whack the seedheads in a bucket, allowing the ripest seed to fall. Sift through strainers to remove the largest chaff, and then winnow off the lighter chaff with your breath, a fan, or the wind.

Polished Everyday Crossbody, Though Priced Like a Designer-Branded Bag
Color: Vanilla/Acorn
This crossbody bag has a clean, classic look that works well for everyday use, errands, travel, or casual outfits where you want something more polished than a basic purse. The north-south shape gives it a slim profile, so it does not feel overly bulky, but it still has enough room for daily essentials like a phone, wallet, keys, small cosmetics, cards, and other small items. The zipper closure is a practical feature because it keeps everything more secure than an open-top bag, especially when walking around, shopping, or traveling. The front and back zippered pockets are also useful for items you want quick access to, like a phone, receipt, lip balm, or transit card. I like that the layout keeps the bag organized without making it feel complicated. The material is mostly PVC with some polyester and polyurethane, so it has more of a coated designer-bag feel rather than soft genuine leather. That makes it easier to wipe clean and more resistant to everyday marks, but buyers should know they are paying more for the brand/style than for leather construction. The bag feels structured and presentable, but it may not have the same long-term aging or softness as a real leather crossbody. For comfort, the crossbody style is convenient because it keeps your hands free and distributes weight better than carrying a small handbag by hand. It is best for people who want a stylish everyday bag, not someone looking for a large tote or something that can carry bulky items. For pricing, similar branded crossbody bags usually range from about $80–$200, depending on the brand, size, material, and whether it is leather or coated canvas/PVC. At around $180, this is on the premium side for a PVC-blend crossbody, but it is fairly typical for the Michael Kors price range. Overall, it feels worth considering if you like the style and brand name, but value-focused buyers may want to compare sale prices or color options before paying full price.
