Days to Maturity: 60 from direct sow

A stunningly beautiful basil disguised as a Celosia, Cardinal wows you with big spiky blooms of cerise-red atop bright burgundy stems. Fragrant, well-branched, and every bit as delicious as plain old basils, Cardinal is the ultimate edible ornamental, offering something for everyone in the sunny garden.

The leaves on this plant are bright green and very tasty, ready to start harvesting just 60 days after sowing (or even sooner for smaller, more tender leaves). Richly aromatic, they are perfect for pesto and sandwiches, salads and Mediterranean cuisine.

But unlike most others, Cardinal has spectacular blooms. Very tightly packed in pointed peaks, they begin in late spring from an early planting, and continue all the way into early fall. Magnificent.

And the blooms aren't the only attraction of this beauty. The flowering stems are a rich shade of burgundy as well, standing out brilliantly from the green leaves. Sturdy and strong, they hold their bounty of blooms very nicely.

Cardinal reaches about 24 to 30 inches high in the sunny garden, and spreads 12 to 18 inches wide. It is irresistible to butterflies, bees, and birds, and makes a great container subject. Plant it around the perimeter of your vegetable patch to keep destructive pests at bay—it will be the most beautiful repellent you've ever used. And mix it right in with annual flowering plants, particularly those lacking a strong scent. Cardinal is happy to share its rich, spicy aroma.

These seeds can be direct sown in spring after all danger of frost, when night temperatures consistently stay above 50 degrees Fahrenheit and the soil feels warm to the touch. Cover them with a scant ¼-inch of soil, and keep the soil moist until they have sprouted, which usually takes about 5 to 10 days. Alternatively, start them indoors in late winter, 6 to 8 weeks before last scheduled frost, in your Bio-Dome, and transplant them after nights are warm and the seedlings have at least 2 sets of true leaves.

One the plants are about 6 weeks old, pinch out the central growing stem. This will encourage the side shoots to leaf out, and keep the plant from blooming too quickly. Even if you are growing Cardinal as an ornamental, you'll want a bushier, more full plant. And if you grow it for culinary use, you want to keep pinching off those flower buds as soon as you see them, because once this basil blooms, it is no longer as tasty. (Our recommendation is to grow some of both: ornamental and culinary.)

Like all basil, Cardinal appreciates full sunshine and moist, well-drained, enriched soil. This is not a "lean" herb; give it rich soil and it will repay you generously in yields and beauty.

Larger and roomier, adore the fiery orange color
Schutz quality is top notch. I found this style to be larger & roomier than I'm use to. Easily dealt with for me with shoe pad inserts and making smaller holes in the band. I adore the color, I've wanted this exact shade of fiery orange forever. It's a gorgeous brilliant orange, with red shadows and golden highlights. I'm so excited to have finally found this color, and Schutz are always comfortable, sturdy, beautiful, and made well.

Buy this shoe NOW!
This is a beautiful shoe!!! My absolute favorite and go to shoe right now. I originally bought the light nude color and it wasn't dark enough for my tan skin and wasn't really "nude" for me. I'm latin and I would say I'm a medium tan color. So I repurchased the neutral color and it was perfect. I thought it might be a pinch too gray but it looks like a nice neutral nude on me and I'm in love! I also have bought in black and pink. I have worn this shoe all night with lots of standing and I have to say that this shoe is quite comfortable. I recommend inserting a small foot petal at the ball of the foot to avoid toe overhang and bunched toes. But overall this shoe is amazing! Also this shoe runs a half size small. I'm normally always 8.5 and had to reorder a 9.
