You might see this herb called Thai Basil or Sweet Thai Basil. This is my first year growing it. I purchased a plant from a local nursery, but you can grow it from seed.
Best Features:
1) It has a unique taste which is a combo of basil, anise and clove flavors!
2) Sweet Thai Basil has pretty purple flowers.
3) it is often used as a garnish in Asian dishes and in salads.
4) It grows well in a container.
5) Sweet Thai Basil will get up to 2 feet tall and wide.
6) It will tolerate full sun to part shade.
7) Pollinators like it too!
We previously chatted about Cardinal Basil which is another variety of basil. So many choices!
