While African Blue Basil is beautiful and edible, you won’t see seeds for this hybrid.
Features:
- African Blue Basil is a bee and pollinator magnet!
- The leaves start out green and as they mature the veins become purple. Also, the leaves are a bolder, spicier basil.
- The stems are dark blue/purple.
- The light purple blooms are so pretty.
- African Blue Basil is a hybrid between East African camphor basil and dark opal basil.
- While you can’t find seeds since it is a hybrid, you can propagate it by rooting it in water or purchase the plants at a nursery! The plants are hard to find sometimes!
- While it is an annual in Pittsburgh, it is a perennial in Zones 9 to 11.
- The African Blue Basil plant can reach up to 3 feet tall and wide.
