Ocimum Basilicum Basil Botanical Garden Tri-Blend Shirt

A hand-tinted illustration of Ocimum basilicum — sweet basil — rendered in the style of a 19th-century botanical plate, every leaf and vein drawn with quiet precision. "Crushed for its fragrance, pinched to multiply" arcs above the artwork, a nod to the plant's real habit: bruise the leaves, and they release their scent; pinch back the growth, and it comes back fuller. A tee for the herb grower, kitchen gardener, and plant-lover who prefers her botanicals precise rather than decorative. Part of a small botanical series — pairs well with the Fragaria Vesca strawberry tee for a considered, coordinated garden wardrobe.
