African Blue Basil is a striking, highly aromatic basil known for its deep green leaves, purple stems, and tall spikes of lavender flowers. The flavor is bold and slightly spicy with hints of clove, making it great for cooking, herbal teas, and garnishes. This vigorous variety grows into a full, bushy plant and blooms heavily, attracting bees and pollinators all season. It’s also a sterile hybrid, so it’s grown from cuttings rather than seed, and provides continuous harvests of flavorful leaves.
