Basil Blue Spice

Ocimum americanum x

What a treat this basil is! It has a spicy fragrance with a vanilla overtone. Visually it has lovely inflorescences with light purple flowers set on deep purple bracts. And as for taste, it can be used in fruit salads, with poultry and probably in many other dishes where you would use sweet basil. Said to be a hybrid between purple basil and O. americanum. Ht. 40cm.
