Basil African Blue
ANNUAL. Grown more for its beautiful blooms and strong camphor scent than for its taste, this shrub like basil grows up to 4 feet tall. Beautiful purple flower stalks are great in arrangements. New foliage emerges as purple and then fades to deep and bright green with purple veins in the leaves. An accidental hybrid between Dark Opal Basil and East African Basil so the seeds are sterile and no pinching is required. Likes dry, warm conditions and the bees just love it.
