Wholesale Basil, Purple Haze Heirloom Garden Seed Packets

Dark Opal Basil features gorgeous deep purple leaves and excellent classic basil flavor, making it perfect for cooking, garnishing, and adding striking color to herb gardens and containers. Compact and easy to grow, this variety performs beautifully in both garden beds and pots. Founded by Wisconsin folk musician Trapper Schoepp, Schoepp Seeds brings heirloom, GMO-free garden seeds to a new generation of gardeners, artists, and music lovers. A descendant of Swedish royal gardener Olof Johnson, Schoepp grew up with gardening in his roots. The internationally touring songwriter is also the youngest artist to co-write with Bob Dylan on the song “On, Wisconsin,” bridging generations of American folk tradition. Created in collaboration with New York’s legendary Bentley Seeds — a trusted freshcrop supplier since 1975 — each packet pairs timeless seed varieties with bold, art-forward packaging. Originally launched alongside Schoepp’s 2021 album May Day, the collection celebrates agricultural heritage while bringing seeds into new spaces like concerts, record stores, coffee shops, and curated retail. Each packet includes simple planting instructions and a QR code linking to Trapper’s music. Lightweight, stylish, and story-driven — ideal for museum stores, garden centers, bookstores, record shops, and checkout displays.
