It is gorgeous. We have several plants around the garden. The smell when I brush past the leaves is delightful.
Do you use it too?
I have not, but only because we grow several varieties of basil. I tend to cook with those first.
It makes a lovely tea/infusion, very calming
Oh! That’s cool! I’m going to do some googling.
Someone gave me a plant three years ago without providing the name for the variety. I googled “basil that smells like bubble gum.”
I grow about 24 plants every from the seeds I save. I like to use basil to attract pollinators.
They definitely have beautiful flowers!
