African Blue Basil

This basil is grown as much for the flowers as the leaves, maybe more so. The pretty pink flowers have a sweet basil flavor, making them a tasty addition to salads or as a garnish. The leaves have a mild basil flavor. African blue basil also makes a showy deer-resistant annual. Excellent nectar source for honeybees and other beneficials.

Full sun. Height and spread 3′. Cut back often when young for a bushy plant. Attractive to hummingbirds and butterflies. Annual.

2.5″ pot
